Still trouble with A4 document defaults (2.2.2)
Hi, I am still having trouble with samba 2.2.2 serving printer drivers to NT workstations. The driver files work, but the printer settings are translated wrong! I can install the printer driver on th samba server (in the way mentioned in the HowTo - yes, I read it), then I set the driver to paper size "A4". After that I set the document defaults also to "A4". These settings are certainly saved, as I can logout and come back again to find them the way I left. BUT: When I start an application (such as Netscape) and try to print a page, the driver shows me as page size "A4 small" or even worse "Letter" or "Legal". In the latter two cases the printer does not print anything but puts the notice on to the display "Please insert 'Letter' paper" - what I haven't got and don't want to. There have been quite a lot of people on this list who mentioned exactly the same problem, but up to now there has not been any real solution. The problem seems to occur only with paper size A4. If I can provide any more helpful information, please let me know. This is getting on my nerves. Thanx, Christopher
