Is it possible to get samba(2.0.6 running on Solaris 7) to automatically install printer drivers for NT clients? Most of the documentation I've read only mentions windows 9x, but the O'Reillys book makes it sound like it might also be possible for NT. I have tried following the procedure in the book, but it only seems to partially set up the printer, allowing me to view spooling properties, but not print... any help would be welcome -peter. ************************************************************* Opinions contained in this e-mail do not necessarily reflect the opinions of the Queensland Department of Main Roads, or of Queensland Transport.

It's been done, but I don't know the details: there's a recipie for Win9X, but not NT. I do know the person who reported it to the list said he had to copy the entire NT share to the Samba server... --dave -- David Collier-Brown, | Always do right.

[Peter A Bryant]> Is it possible to get samba(2.0.6 running on Solaris 7) to > automatically install printer drivers for NT clients?The NT spool services protocol is completely different from what Windows95 uses (and Samba supports). The code to handle NT spoolss exists in Samba pre-3.0.0, and allegedly it does work. I believe Jeremy has said he plans to put it in 2.0.8, which (I'm guessing) won't be released for a few months.
