[Samba] General info "Samba as Printserver for NT4.0"
Hello dear reader, I was trying very hard for several days to setup a linux-server with Samba to work as a printserver in a NT-network. The Printserver should only offer the the print-service for networkable HP printers (1200) . This means, i just wanted to see, if i could replace the existing NT-printserver by a linux-machine. The only problem that i could not overcome, was, the "automatic download" of vendor printer driver files (for windows)from the linux-machine onto the NT-clients. All docs say this works fine for W9X and NT, but now, after studying a lot of Newsgroups, i think, it does not work for NT. My question now: Is it possible to use the "old fashioned method" (using printer driver file-, printer driver location-, printer driver-parameters) of printer driver downloads to Win/NT-Clients with Samba 2.2.1a and NT4.0 ? If not, is it possible to do that with a Samba Version 2.2.1 ? I hope you can answer my questions and thank you very much for your reply !
