[Samba] Win2k and Win9x printer drivers from 2.0.7?
Hello, All. Is it possible to have a Samba 2.0.7 server provide printer drivers for both Windows 98 and 2000 clients? I'm currently delivering Win98 drivers with great success, but we're beginning to have Windows 2000 clients on the network and I've been unable to trick Samba 2.0.7 into providing the proper files. Note that the Samba server provides just file and print services; it is part of an NT domain, but is not acting as a domain controller. Authentication is provided by an NT4 box. Perhaps the only solution is to upgrade to 2.2.3a? If so, are there any worries about migrating on a Red Hat 6.2 platform? Thanks in advance. -- Bill Grzanich IT Manager ORGANICS/LaGrange, Inc.
I would encourage you to give it a try, printing is easier to maintain in the newer versions. I had samba 2.2.2 sucessfully running on RedHat 6.2 a few months ago.
