Hi,
I have a problem with a print server running samba 2.2.6. The server
"forgets" the settings for the printers. Especially the paper size. So
the
printing files are set up for "Letter" and not for A4 --> Printer
refuses to
print because it has no "Letter" paper.
I can upload the drivers from a W2K Client for W2K and NT and set up the
driver properties. When in click OK the settings are stored and stay stored
for some time. But after a few days all settings fall back to the defaults.
Another problem is that the settings on the server do not apply to the
printer if the driver is downloaded to a client. Also, if the properties are
still set up properly on the server. Driver uploading, downloading and
printing are no problem.
