[Samba] Yet another print-driver download problem...
I've gotten driver-downloads to work from WinNT/2K clients, but I still can't seem to figure out how to get things to work with Win9x clients. Here's a copy of my smb.conf file: *********** [global] printing = lprng printcap name = /etc/printcap log level = 1 load printers = no guest account = nobody security = domain workgroup = EXAMEN3 server string = %h (Samba %v) syslog only = no syslog = 0; socket options = IPTOS_LOWDELAY TCP_NODELAY SO_SNDBUF=4096 SO_RCVBUF=4096 encrypt passwords = yes wins support = no wins server = smbauth.examen.com password server = smbauth.examen.com dns proxy = no preserve case = yes short preserve case = yes unix password sync = false max log size = 1000 [print$] comment = Print Drivers path = /var/samba/drivers browseable = yes read only = yes guest ok = yes write list = root,@ntadmin create mode = 0755 [enzo] comment = HP LaserJet 6L browseable = yes printable = yes printer = lp public = yes writable = no guest ok = yes create mode = 0700 *********** Any ideas? -- Don Werve <donw@examen.com> (Unix System Administrator) Yorn desh born, der ritt de gitt der gue, Orn desh, dee born desh, de umn bork! bork! bork!
Hi This is how I did it, maybe there are better solutions, but it worked for me>From a WinNT/2000/XP client log in as a root equivalent user, go to thePrinters share of your Unix box right click the desired printer select properties->sharing ->printer drivers and check Win95/98/Me option. When asked about the drivers provide the correct location, and that's all. Before you start doing this check that you have /var/samba/drivers/WIN40 (for 9x/Me drivers) , not just /var/samba/drivers/WIN32X86 (used for NT/2000/XP drivers) Good Luck Geza Gemes ----- Original Message ----- From: <donw@examen.com> To: <samba@lists.samba.org> Sent: Tuesday, November 19, 2002 9:44 PM Subject: [Samba] Yet another print-driver download problem...> I've gotten driver-downloads to work from WinNT/2K clients, but I still > can't seem to figure out how to get things to work with Win9x clients. > > Here's a copy of my smb.conf file: > > *********** > [global] > printing = lprng > printcap name = /etc/printcap > log level = 1 > load printers = no > guest account = nobody > security = domain > workgroup = EXAMEN3 > server string = %h (Samba %v) > syslog only = no > syslog = 0; > socket options = IPTOS_LOWDELAY TCP_NODELAY SO_SNDBUF=4096SO_RCVBUF=4096> encrypt passwords = yes > wins support = no > wins server = smbauth.examen.com > password server = smbauth.examen.com > dns proxy = no > preserve case = yes > short preserve case = yes > unix password sync = false > max log size = 1000 > > [print$] > comment = Print Drivers > path = /var/samba/drivers > browseable = yes > read only = yes > guest ok = yes > write list = root,@ntadmin > create mode = 0755 > > [enzo] > comment = HP LaserJet 6L > browseable = yes > printable = yes > printer = lp > public = yes > writable = no > guest ok = yes > create mode = 0700 > *********** > > Any ideas? > > -- > Don Werve <donw@examen.com> (Unix System Administrator) > > Yorn desh born, der ritt de gitt der gue, > Orn desh, dee born desh, de umn bork! bork! bork! > -- > To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the > instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba >
