hi there
following this guide
http://de.samba.org/samba/docs/man/printing.html#id2933004
i try to add network printers on clients via startup-script
my problem: samba should just be the "driver provider" and not spool
print jobs...those should go directly to the printers
it should just give the needed driver to the client and tell him, that
he should use a TCP/IP port and NOT the samba-printing-port
my script:
rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /in /n "\\sambapdc\copy07.my.domain"
/r "IP_192.168.1.1"
192.168.1.1 = TCP/IP Port of the Printer "copy07"
but it doesn't work -> the printer maps perfectly but the port is
"Samba
Printer Port" and i can't "add a new port", because
"this request is not
supported"
hence the printer is not shared in my smb.conf (just the neccessary CUPS
entries to give a driver to the clients), the "Samba Printer Port"
points to "nowhere"
-- smb.conf snip --
[global]
printing = CUPS
printcap name = CUPS
load printers = yes
[print$]
comment = Printer Driver Download Area
path = /sambadrivers
browseable = yes
guest ok = yes
read only = yes
write list = root
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/samba
browseable = no
public = yes
guest ok = yes
writable = no
printable = yes
printer admin = root
please help me
ask me, if i forgot something
THX
