[Samba] uploading printer driver using APW changes printer share name
Hi, I've set up a printer called "UREW-EDV" using the cups webinterface. After that an enumprinters give the following output: rpcclient $> enumprintershp LaserJet 1320 PCL 6 flags:[0x800000] name:[\\server\UREW-EDV] description:[\\server\UREW-EDV,,Netzwerkdrucker-EDV] comment:[Netzwerkdrucker-EDV] Next step is uploading a driver using APW: http://samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/classicalprinting.html#id388469 This works fine, but afterwards the name of the printer is changed to the name _of the driver_ (in this case from "UREW-EDV" to "hp LaserJet 1320 PCL 6"): rpcclient $> enumprinters flags:[0x800000] name:[\\server\hp LaserJet 1320 PCL 6] <- ??? description:[\\server\hp LaserJet 1320 PCL 6,hp LaserJet 1320 PCL 6,Netzwerkdrucker-EDV] comment:[Netzwerkdrucker-EDV] Now the printer is shown as "hp LaserJet 1320 PCL 6" under \\server -> "Printer and Faxes". Why that? To correct this I have to open the printer properties and set the name back to "UREW-EDV" manually. Without this correction the PrintandPoint feature for this printer doesn't work. It took me a hole night to figure this out. Is this a normal behaviour or is this my mistake?
