Hi all, I have two print servers, and I have serious problems trying to set the default preferences and the device cofiguration (Number of trays, etc...). Otherwise, I have one printer in one of these print servers that have another configuration (I can't remember how could I do it), and the preferences and device config runs well and I can modify it. The good config shows: Ports: \\printserver\printer, LAN Manager printing port Advanced: Print processor -> Lexmark PCL Print Processor The bad config shows: Ports: samba Advanced: Print processor -> Winprint The problem here is that winprint processor can't understand the lexmark preferences and config, but I don't know how can I create a new print processor or change the port, 'cos are both disableds. TIA.

If not, look at "use client driver" and "disable spoolss" in smb.conf(5). You may need to install the printer as a local printer (this is what happened under Samba 2.0). chau, jerry --------------------------------------------------------------------- Hewlett-Packard http://www.hp.com SAMBA Team http://www.samba.org -- http://www.plainjoe.org "Sam's Teach Yourself Samba in 24 Hours" 2ed.

Hi Gerald, Thanx for the answer, I try to download the driver from the samba box, and the problem seems to be the samba server can't understand the preferences and device commands from the Win2K clients. I have tryied to install as local printer enabling the "use client driver" from smb.conf and runs well, but the perfect beaviour will be to save this configuration into the samba server (I have a lot of clients using this printers and I'll have to add manually the trays into each client). Do you know a CVS snapshot will solve the problem?
