samba - Jun 2003 - 2.2.8a, printer driver download: need to use setdrive r

This is the EXACT problem I had.  Haven't fixed it either.... if I have 10
printers.... upload all the drivers.. for all the OS's... how do I tell
which drivers go with which printer?

Hello

I'm setting up the automatic printer driver download feature, and it works
nicelly except for one little thing: I have to use, on the samba machine,
rpcclient's setdriver command to associate a printer with its driver.

I didn't see this requirement in the Samba howto, it only mentions setdriver
as a way to speed up large installations. Am I missing something? Should
windows make this association automatically when it uploads the driver to
the samba [print$] share?

You use the setdriver command, it seems. What I wanted to know is if this
is expected or if I'm missing something.

Just to make myself clear: setdriver works :)

I used 2k & XP to upload 9 drivers for 3 printers (3 OS's each). 
neither
time did any PC auto download them.  But any 2k and XP machine could see all
9 drivers on the server.

How were you uploading drivers in the first place? There is a right and
wrong way, apparently.

That is exactly it!  Now--- documentation on setdriver is where?  Lets put

Exactly. XP and 2k can see the drivers (but I didn't try the auto-download
feature
with these OSs, I only used them for the upload), but when I tried to
install a printer
in a win98 machine, the automatic download feature only worked after I used
the setdriver command on the samba machine.

You seem to be missing the right how-to. Try
http://www.linuxprinting.org/kpfeifle/SambaPrintHOWTO/Samba-HOWTO-Collection
-3.0-PrintingChapter-11th-draft.html

Exactly how I do it.... So setdriver is the answer.... wont have time to
play with it today.

win2k, my network places, find the samba machine, click on it, open the
printers icon, right-click on an empty space in that windows, select
properties, installed drivers, add new driver, select arch, etc.

This URL crashes my mozilla, I only have 128M of RAM :)

Anyhow, I was talking about samba-2, not 3.

I was indeed talking about Samba2 as well.

Damn! We're in 2003 and I feel like in the "mail" era...

Check this: http://www.linuxprinting.org/kpfeifle/

Again! Please check that how-to, it is by no mean version3-only! It works
very well with 2.2.7 or 2.2.8 and it contains many !
