Lately there's been some discussion of this feature which I am currently trying to setup and I was *hoping* for the discussion to point me to some more complete documentation on this feature. I'm currently pretty new to Samba configuration, setting up a Samba 2.2.0 server as PDC. I have done that successfully, having my test Win2K machine join the domain and netlogins work and so on... now I'm stumbling over how to set up my Samba server (a Sun Solaris 7 box) to act as a printer driver download server for my Win2k machine. I've read all documentation I can find, but I need documentation that spells it out for me at an elementary level, and I haven't been able to find that. For example, I'm not even sure how to get the printer drivers onto my samba server--do I dump the contents of the CDs into that directory? Duh. Can anyone point me in the right direction -- to some documentation or --? --- Bunny Pfau National Center for Atmospheric Research bunny@ucar.edu High Altitude Observatory tel: 303 497-1555 P.O.

-> Did you already read the printing chapter in -> -> http://samba.org/samba/docs/Samba-HOWTO-Collection.pdf -> -> ? Yes--and I just reread it. Unfortunately, for my level of experience with Samba and Windows, it left a lot of blanks. I am able, of course, to set up shares and permissions and such--I'm just blurry on how I actually get the driver files onto the Samba server. I'll keep trying.. Bunny
