Hallo,
I'm running a Samba 2.2.5 server on a SuSE 8.1 box.
I setup a [print$] share at server pslag, following the
documentation. I have a [printer$] share too. Without it,
Samba wouldn't export my cups printers for browsing.
My config file is like that:
[global]
:
printing = cups
printcap name = CUPS
printer admin = root
load printers = Yes
:
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/tmp
create mask = 0600
guest ok = Yes
printable = Yes
browseable = No
:
[print$]
comment = Printer Driver Download Area
read only = Yes
guest ok = Yes
path = /etc/samba/drivers
write list = root
browseable = Yes
I was able to install the printer driver on that share
from a WinXP client using the AddPrinter Wizard.
rpcclient at the print server reports the following:
rpcclient $> enumdrivers
[Windows NT x86]
Printer Driver Info 2:

:
So I think, the printer kyo_adv has its driver ready. Under
W32X86/2 are a lot of dependend driver files.
When I want to open the printers properties on my XP-box, I still get
the message, that the driver ist not installed.
What could be the reason for that behaviour ? How can I debug the problem ?
Thanks in advance
Olaf
