As an updatee to my last post, things are still not working! The drivers did get added but I'm still not sure whether I achieved this via the Add Printer Wizard or despite error messages the rpcclient adddriver did work. I did wonder if the lsa_io_sec_qos: length c does not match size 8 error is because the printer name is too long, especially as when I tried a shorter name such as HP2300 - with no spaces the files did end up in the correct directory!! I therefore attempted the setdriver command and still get error messages such as WERR_ACCESS_DENIED. Looking at Google I can see lots of posts and the suggestion that use client driver = yes in smb.conf should be altered to use client driver = no . Well I tried this with no success and even tried once again with the add printer wizard but this time I am unable to change any of the properties. I also tried changing the permissions on the /etc/cups/printcap file but it made no difference. I am starting to conclude that either these commands do not work at all or I am being remarkably thick! I suppose it is possible that the rpcclient binary is corrupt or the version I am using has a bug in it. I would very much like to hear if anyone has succeeded in getting this process to work, particularly with PCL5/6 based printers. As a alternative, I would consider downloading and compiling Samba but I am curious as to how I can identfy what option were specified when the packages were built i.e.is it possible to query the packaged version and identify the compile options originally used.

These have all been fixed but I am now struggling with the point and print facility. I have attempted to upload the drivers from Windows XP workstations but this seems to do nothing. So plan B was to manually copy the files to the appropriate print$ share folder, so far so good. The problem I now have is that the rpcclient utility simply doesn't work. Without a debug level set I either get a usage prompt or a DOS code of 0x0000003 If I set debug to level 3 it produces the following error: added interface ip=10.0.0.3 bcast=10.0.0.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 Password: Connecting to host=localhost Connecting to 127.0.0.1 at port 445 Doing spnego session setup (blob length=58) got OID=1 3 6 1 4 1 311 2 2 10 got principal=NONE Got challenge flags: Got NTLMSSP neg_flags=0x60890215 NTLMSSP: Set final flags: Got NTLMSSP neg_flags=0x60080215 NTLMSSP Sign/Seal - Initialising with flags: Got NTLMSSP neg_flags=0x60080215 lsa_io_sec_qos: length c does not match size 8 I have Googled with this error and noticed a number of posts but so far not found an answer The printer concerned is an HP 2300 PCL6 which has a whole string of file dependencies (48 files in total). The result being that I've had a lot of trouble with quoting errors (Unix skill still abit rusty) but I seem to have got to the bottom of that problem. N.B. System is Suse 9.1 running Samba 3.0.4 - (update downloaded this morning to see if it would solve the problem). Printing is via Cups - not sure of the version. I would greatly appreciate any help with this problem as it is driving me mad!!!
