Hi Dave, > 1. I ran the "cupsaddsmb" command and I see that it created > InfoPrint_1125.PPD, which looks right for my Infoprint 1125 printer.
What's in /var/lib/samba/drivers/, /var/lib/samba/drivers/W32X86/, and /var/lib/samba/drivers/W32X86/2 or /var/lib/samba/drivers/W32X86/3? > Not sure why we're using W32X86 (how does that relate?) Drivers for windows 95 and higher clients on x86. > Problem: When I go to add the printer to my W2K client (and > download the driver)... I get > "The server on which the 'Infoprint_1125' > printer resides does not have the correct printer driver installed, if you > want to > install the driver on your local computer, > click OK" > > Then "OK" Here you should click No or Cancel or whatever the other option is, not OK.

You probably don't want to use the gimp drivers, but whatever you select there will not affect your windows clients which would be printing in RAW. This might affect things like the banner/cover page though, and print jobs initiated from linux. > 2.

Is the user you are connecting to samba with configured as a printer admin in /etc/samba/smb.conf? > TIA, Good luck, ~ Daniel ----------------------------------------------------------------------- This message is the property of Time Inc. or its affiliates.
