Hi Buchan and Everyone, I'm not sure if I have tracked this down or not? I setup my printer in CUPS as raw device, as it is a HP LaserJet 5P (no postscript). I tried putting the the PPD, Adobe Postscript Printer Drivers and CUPS drivers in /usr/share/samba/drivers. But can't seem to transferred them to /var/lib/samba/printers as cupsaddsmb keeps on complaining that no PPD found for HP5P. I'm pretty sure the right PPDs are there. I tried the ones come with /usr/share/cups/model/ and the ones on HP's site. But none works. Would someone please give me some advice here? Thanks.
Regards, Norman --- Hi Buchan, :> I'm trying to add driver to the print$ share in Windows 2000 as a :> printer administrator. But after selecting Printers/Server :> Properties/Drivers, all tabs cannot be selected (grayed out). : : You need to be listed in 'printer admin group' or a member of such a : group, such as: : : printer admin group = @adm root : etc : : BTW, process is like this, browse to the Printers share on the machine, : right-click the printer, choose properties, say no when offered to : install a driver, click advanced, choose "New Driver". I do have printer_admin = @"MYNTDOMAIN\Print Admins", root. I also set my Print Admins to be the primary group for the operators. I also tried the process you described, but I still got access denied. Does this have to do with CUPS? Do I need to use cupsaddsmb? But I can't find the PPD from CUPS. They were available in the CUPS web config. :> Is there a way I can enable them so workstations can automatically :> install the print drivers? The print$ path is /var/lib/samba/printers, :> and permission is set to 755 with user:group=root:root. I tried 777 and :> change group to printer admin but nothing worked. Would someone please :> help? : : Well, you should also have some directories under there such as W32X86 etc : : Check the perms of those, and also ensure the share has enabled write : for whoever is trying to upload drivers. All subfolder are there. It is 755 for all subfolders. The subfolders were created by Mandrake by default. I even did a setfacl -m g:"ARKONDOMAIN\Print Admins":rwx /var/lib/samba/printers, and gave rx access for all parent folders. But still unsuccessful 8( Please help. Regards, Norman
