[print$] comment = Printer Driver Download Area path = /var/lib/samba/printers browseable = yes public = yes write list = root @users chown root.root /var/lib/samba/printers; chmod 777 /var/lib/samba/printers from then on, anytime you configure a printer in windows, if the drivers aren't on the server, windows uploads them. and the next time (maybe on a different computer), should be able to download them so installing a printer is a double click away. anoop. > Centauri:/var/lib/samba/printers/test# > > / > > Martijn Marsman wrote: > > Hi all, > > > > When setting up cups and Samba to make an anonymous printserver for a > > lot of clients and 20 printers > > i noticed this works fine :D > > > > only 1 problem, > > > > when adding a printer to windows, it asks about the driver. > > in my samba config a pointed out a directory where the drivers are, > > but i dont know what files to put in there, > > just ppd files? or the contents of official driver cd? and should a > > make that dir a samba share? > > > > i really need to auto install the drivers. > > > > > > btw, iam using Appsocket in cups, the printer + drivers work fine in > > cups :) > > > > here is my smb.conf > > > > /Centauri:/var/log/samba# testparm > > > > Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf > > Unknown parameter encountered: "disable spools" > > Ignoring unknown parameter "disable spools" > > Unknown parameter encountered: "show add printer wizzard" > > Ignoring unknown parameter "show add printer wizzard" > > Processing section "[printers]" > > Processing section "[print$]" > > Loaded services file OK. > > Server role: ROLE_STANDALONE > > Press enter to see a dump of your service definitions > > > > # Global parameters > > [global] > > workgroup = TEST > > server string = %h Samba Print server > > security = SHARE > > syslog = 0 > > log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m > > max log size = 1000 > > printcap name = cups > > dns proxy = No > > panic action = /usr/share/samba/panic-action %d > > printing = cups > > print command = > > lpq command = %p > > lprm command = > > > > [printers] > > comment = All Printers > > path = /tmp > > create mask = 0700 > > guest ok = Yes > > printable = Yes > > browseable = No > > > > [print$] > > comment = Printer Drivers > > path = /var/lib/samba/printers > > guest ok = Yes > > > > Centauri:/var/log/samba#/ > > > > Well i hope its possible :D > > > > thnx in advance! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
