samba - Jul 2005 - problem with initializing printer at hwprintserv + cups + samba

Hi here.

I have LaserJet 2500 connected to network via
D-Link DP-300+ printserver,
and configured in CUPS as lpd://printserv/lj2500
Printer works well from linux (SUSE ES 9).

In samba it is installed (using cupsaddsmb) with
cups ps driver (cupsdrvr.dll etc) and native PPD from
windows2000 driver.
rpc enumprinters and enumdrivers show everything OK.

This printer connected on win2k client,
all dll and ppd files downloaded properly into
/winnt/system32/spool/drivers/2/

However, trying to get properties of printer fails with
erg... ~= "driver is not installed, only queue properties can be
shown"
Printing, of cause, does not work "as well".

Could someone explain why ?
Could i provide some addtional info to help solving problem ?
(egg samba log of connect/print session, but it is 260M)

thanks in advance.

Hi,

I cannot help but I was just writing on this list for a similar problem 
with a Dell 3000cn.

I also have lots of debugging info should someone help.

I need PS driver to setup page accounting.
Page counters do not work with raw printers.

For LaserJet 2500 problem solved
using foomatic/postscript PPD instead of native driver.
(i guess it misses something, but main options are in place)

But the same situation for LaserJet 1015 (non PS) and
cups driver + foomatic/hpjs driver.
Driver installed, but printing/getting options fails.Wednesday, July 6, 2005,
