[Samba] I will pay you $10US (via Paypal) out of my own pocket if you can solve this CUPS & Samba problem.
Seriously. I can't afford to be down much longer or I'm going to be in serious trouble. Running Redhat 7.2. Here's the scoop: Cups is installed and running. Samba is installed and running and is sharing files properly to 100+ people. I can print a test page from the Cups web-interface. I can print a test page by "cat foo | lpr" or "cat foo | lpr.cups" no problem. Swat sees the printer that exists in /etc/printcap. A print$ share has been created: [print$] path = /usr/share/cups/model/ guest ok = Yes /usr/share/cups/model/ contains a bunch of PPD printer drivers inside a directory called foomatic, created by a cups-drivers rpm. I have also tried having the drivers I need directly in the /usr/share/cups/model directory with no success. ...when I am on a windows box and try to install the printer that is listed (via the Printers control panel or by browsing to the Printers share via Network Neighbourhood), I get a "The server on which the printer resides does not have the correct printer driver installed. If you want to install the driver on your local computer, click OK". I really need to get this up and running. Please help.

If you want to install the driver on your local computer, --> click OK". Greg, In order to get my server to automagically install the drivers, I had to use a Win2K machine to load the drivers into the server. Samba needs to build an internal database of what drivers it has and what machines the drivers are for. Just copying the specific driver files into a dir on the linux box does not work ( I tried that too ) :] You can try to cli the drivers in using the rpcclient ( not the recommended way, at least not by me ) or on an NT machine. ( I used Win2K, I imagine XP would work too ) Just browse to the server. Then double click on the printers folder. Now you should see all of your printers listed with little blue "sharing" icons on them. Goto File-->Server Properties. There is a drivers tab in there which will show you what drivers are on the machine and what OS they are for. There should be an add button on that tab. Use this to upload the drivers into the samba server. I got my drivers from the manufactures, and then unzipped them into a dir on the win2k machine. The add driver dialogue will ask for a printer driver file. Browse to the folder where you unzipped the driver and hit OK. The driver should begin to upload to the samba server. Mine always stopped and asked for another file off of the Win2000 server cd. I just truncated the extra path info off of the end of the pre-filled path ( it had something like C:\Winnt\something\\more stuff ). I cut it off at the '\\' and then hit OK. This allowed the driver to finish loading. After it all goes in, you return to the drivers tab and there should be a listing for the driver that you just installed. Note, there are a number of drivers which will not be loaded into the server. These are the printers that Windows includes 'native' drivers for. So you have printers now? And connected clients can print? Once you get the drivers worked out, things will be great. Good luck. --Ben-- ----------------------- Ben Griffith bgriffit@email.unc.edu -----------------------
