[Samba] how to upload printer driver from 64bit windows 7/8?
Hello, Anyone know how to upload 64bit printer driver to a samba server from x64 windows so that all x64 PC can do point and print? When I browser to //server with 64bit windows 7/8 , there's no "Printers" folder at the server. I cannot view the printer properties and upload printer driver as I usually do with 32bit windows XP. Any help? Thanks Kind regards Graeme Porter

If you have a [print$] share and on it the required driver directory structure, you should be able to upload drivers through the the wizzard (On Win7 go to \\servername, click 'open remote printers', righ-click somewhere, 'server settings', 'drivers', ...)
