samba - Jan 2004 - Adding printers drivers problem

Hi ,
   I'm trying to add printers drivers to a Samba server 2.2.8a . with the
APW ( add printer wizard method ) .
   So I set up the PRINT$ share and subfolder.
   Connected to the samba server with a 2000 ( server ) client and tried to
add printers driver using the wizard but got the error .
   "unable to instal intel ,win nt or 2000 driver, operation could not be
completed ."

   I've read and followed the HOW-TO by Vernooij but still unable to add
printers drivers

   Can anyone help me with it
   Thanks

Hi Stefano

I have had this issue too.

What worked for me:

Once the printer has been added locally, go to printer properties (for
relevent printer), Choose the advanced tab, then clck on new driver, and
select the relevent driver.

Once this is completed (click apply on main properties window), you can then
goto the sharing tab, and add additional drivers (for win9x etc).

Of course, YMMV.

HTH,

Chris
