Hi I've got some problems with the download of Adobe PostScript printer drivers on a Windows 98 client : On the server side (Red Hat 9 / Samba 3.0.1 / Cups 1.1.17) : I installed succesfully my printers with Cups and they work fine on Linux I ran cupsaddsmb tool to copy the Adobe files in the [print$] directory which gives this result : ...../W32X86/2 : cupsdrvr.dll cups.hlp cupsui.dll hp2200.ppd hp2300.ppd ...../WIN40 : ADFONTS.DLL DEFPRTR2.PPD ICONLIB.DLL PSMON.DLL ...../WIN40/0 : ADOBEPS4.DRV ADOBEPS4.HLP hp2200.PPD hp2300.PPD On the client side (Windows 98) : I install the printer via the Network Neighbourhood but only the ADOBEPS4.DRV file is copied from the server and Windows can't print the Test Page. If I manually install the Adobe Drivers on the client, I can use the printer. I think that there is an error while the files are copied to the client but I found no information in Samba's log and Cups logs. I don't understand what's going on, can someone help me ? Thank you all and sorry for my bad english : ) Norbert GOMES IUFM Orl?ans-Tours Service Informatique

Apparently Analagous Threads
- using cupsaddsmb with W98
- rpcclient returns NT_STATUS_NO_SUCH_DEVICE on adddriver
- rpcclient error -- CUPS 1.1.16 provides PostScript driver for WindowsNT/2K/XP
- cupsaddsmb claims to work but fails
- cli_pipe: return critical error. Error was Call returned zero byte (EOF), hilfe!
