Hey,
We have recently upgraded to Samba 2.2.1.a and are having trouble with
our printer setup when trying to use the TDB method of storing
printer/diver info.
I can load up rpcclient fine, and I see all my printers from smb.conf.
That bit is as expected. I can load in a Win2K ("Windows NT x86")
driver
for a printer, then link the driver to the printer. That works fine too,
the printer can be installed off a client. I can even script this
translation to do the slurp from old printers to the TDB ... but that is
irrelevant
However when I try to load up some Win95 drivers in rpcclient ("Windows
4.0") Win95 clients do not pick them up. I have tried
- Loading 2K, then 95 drivers with the same name then linking with setdriver
- Loading just 95 drivers then linking with setdriver
- Loading just 2K drivers then linking with setdriver
I think the problem is that 95 clients are not searching the TDB
properly or some such. If I just have the 95 drivers, and I also have a
legacy PRINTER$ stuff set up (printer driver etc...) then the drivers
will load out of the PRINTER$ share. If I disable this share it will
decide it doesn't know what to do and ask me to pick a driver.
Can Anyone help..... smb.conf is attached
James
