samba - Feb 2005 - automatic adding of forms when adding a printerdriver

Hello 

I have a problem with the adding of formular sizes when a new printerdrives
is added.

When I install a samba server the standard formsizes from A2 to A6 are
available.

If I install a large format printer with papersize A0 this formsize isn't
installed and so it is not possible to printout on A0 to the printer.

Is this a know bug or is it "normal"

Any help is welcomer

regards
Franz

Just install the driver locally and on the Samba host.
Then run

	AddForms localprintername sambaprintername

It's really rough code i use to poke a printer servers
with.  No guarantees. :-)



cheers, jerry
