Links: cx510de: http://support.lexmark.com/index?locale=EN&page=product&userlocale=EN_US&productCode=LEXMARK_CX510&focusedTab=DOWNLOADS#1 ms510dn: http://support.lexmark.com/index?locale=EN&page=product&userlocale=EN_US&productCode=LEXMARK_MS510#1 hp5100dtn: http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/swd/public/readIndex?sp4ts.oid=74342&swLangOid=8&swEnvOid=4063 (chose PCL6) Note that the Lexmark downloads are executables; however, when run, you have an option to just extract their contents, allowing you to get access to the driver without installing bloatware. I have tried to install the drivers using the "Print Management" snap-in available in Windows; I have tried from several different computers, all Windows 7 64-bit. As mentioned before, CUPS server is 14.04 running samba 2:4.1.6+dfsg-1ubuntu2.14.04.3 (installed via APT). It would take a little bit of time, but if you are so inclined, I could give you a disk image of the CUPS server -- send me an off list email and we can discuss that more. Thanks, Mike

[Samba] CUPS Windows point'n'click driver installation

This isn't related to Samba. If you try uploading the driver to a Windows host by pointing to the ntprint.inf, the list of drivers stays also empty. You should ask Lexmark, if they have a driver supporting point'n'print upload. Or you can try to integrate the drivers manually: * If I installed the driver locally on a Win7 computer, all neccessary files are copied to %Windir%\System32\spool\drivers\x64\3\ (do this on a host, that never has a driver installed. Otherwise there may be other files from other drivers in there too). * See http://www.linuxtopia.org/online_books/network_administration_guides/samba_reference_guide/29_CUPS-printing_105.html. Start with step 4. You can copying the files from the Windows host (location see above) to the print$ share, too, of course.> hp5100dtn: http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/swd/public/readIndex?sp4ts.oid=74342&swLangOid=8&swEnvOid=4063 (chose PCL6)This link doesn't work. I searched for the printer on the HP download area, but it only provides me the hp univeral driver. This one I could upload successfully (tried PCL5 + PCL6 64bit). At work I use the HP univeral driver PS, which works also with Samba. Regards, Marc

I gave that link you mentioned a shot and had to change things for the 64-bit install, but I was able to successfully install the driver, associate it with a printer, and print a few documents. I have only done this for the Lexmark cx510, but I imagine with just a little work, the others will turn out too. Thank you! -Mike
