Never got a response to this, so I will simplify the question. Has anyone ever gotten the HP 2500c Printer Driver to auto-install using a Samba Print Server?? Thanks Josh ---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: Unable to change to the specified driver Date: Mon, 4 Mar 2002 09:29:53 -0600 From: Josh Konkol <susesambaboy@yahoo.com> To: samba@lists.samba.org Hi all, I'm having problems uploading printer drivers to my Samba print server. I'm running Suse 7.0 w/Samba 2.2.2. 75% of the time there are no errors uploading drivers using my NT box. On the rest of them, I click on New Driver and select Have Disk. I browse to my driver and click OK. It looks like it's instaling the driver just fine, then after the progress bar gets to 100% it gives me an error saying "Unable to change to the specified driver, original settings will be restored". The driver I'm trying to install is an HP 2500c. Has anyone run into this problem before?? I've searched the mail-list archives and only found one person who had the same problem, but I didn't see any responses. TIA Josh -------------------------------------------------------
Your response is very much appreciated. I think you have a point in that it is related to the HP 2000 and HP 2500 Series printer drivers. Maybe this one will stay on NT.
