Hello ! How can I configure samba to upload a particular driver when installing a printer shared. (cups + samba 3 + cups-pdf). In my particular case, I share a cups-pdf virtual printer and I would like samba to send the "HP Color Laserjet 8500 PS" driver when I connect to it. I've searched the web but didn't find any clear answer. It seems that a lot of things are depreciated now, so please give me the tips or an updated howto page for doing this !! Thanks ! -- Software patents are threatening us : http://nosoftwarepatents.com GnuPG public key : http://www.pivert.net/pivert_home.asc -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

The best howto I fount is : http://www.netadmintools.com/art258.html However, when comes the step to click the "New Driver" in the Advanced Tab, The New Driver button is in gray and I can't click on it. Of course I have read/write access to //server/print$/WIN32X86/ What should I do ? -- Software patents are threatening us : http://nosoftwarepatents.com GnuPG public key : http://www.pivert.net/pivert_home.asc -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

| I have a third party file manager that I use to get Administrator access
| to XP just like you can with konqeror. It is called FileAnt and it
| totally rocks... but I digress.
|
| I've noticed that I can't browse to my print$ share despite the
| following settings:
|
| | [printers]
| | comment = All Printers
| | path = /var/spool/samba
| | printer admin = root
| | guest ok = Yes
| | printable = Yes
| | browseable = No
| |
| | [print$]
| | comment = Printer Drivers
| | path = /var/lib/samba/printers
| | read only = No
|
| Here is what is especially strange. If I click on the printer icon with
| FileAnt I get this:
|
| \\Enigma\::{2227A280-3AEA-1069-A2DE-08002B30309D}
|
| Enigma is the name of my server but what is the SID type info for?
It's a class id, not a SID.
| If I paste it into an explorer box I get the printers subdirectory also.
|
| Q: Is the printers subdirectory synonymous with \\Enigma\printer$ ? If
| this is the case than I am actually browseing it however I can still not
| create a directory despite the settings above.
|
| I've also noticed something else strange with the perms:
|
| | [root@enigma 0 samba]$ ls -l printers
| | total 20
| | drwxrwsr-x 2 root adm 4096 Nov 9 12:35 W32ALPHA
| | drwxrwsr-x 2 root adm 4096 Nov 9 12:35 W32MIPS
| | drwxrwsr-x 2 root adm 4096 Nov 9 12:35 W32PPC
| | drwxrwsr-x 3 root adm 4096 Dec 6 19:33 W32X86
| | drwxrwsr-x 2 root adm 4096 Nov 9 12:35 WIN40
| | [root@enigma 0 samba]$
|
| What is the S for?
setgid
| Somehow I doubt it is supposed to be there.
How else would you sure that the group ownership of the files will
*always* stay correct (access controls should always be applied at the
filesystem level if possible, rather than the share definition).
Anyway, you could check with 'rpm -V' and see that they are as packaged.

Buchan
