Nope, doesn't look that hard. In fact, I think I have it working now,
but I don't have a good way of testing it. You need to make two custom
template fragments--one is a copy of 10globals, and the other is a new
one I've called 52print.
To the copy of 10globals, add one line:
printer admin = Administrator admin [and any other users you want to be
able to add printer drivers to the server, separated by spaces]
For 52print, add this:
[print$]
path = /home/samba/printers
guest ok = yes
browseable = yes
read only = yes
; since this share is configured as read only, then we need
; a 'write list'. Check the file system permissions to make
; sure this account can copy files to the share. If this
; is setup to a non-root account, then it should also exist
; as a 'printer admin'
write list = admin root Administrator [etc.]
Make the directory /home/samba/printers. I think it'd need to be
world-writable, so chmod 777 it. Make directories in that directory for
the architectures you plan to support (see that URL you listed for the
names). Then follow the directions on that page for installing the
drivers.
That said, I notice that the documentation you reference (as well as
what I'd found earlier) refers to a Printers folder, and I'm not finding
that as such. I wonder if there's a problem there.
