Hello,
I still need help on this. Someone suggested me to use Samba 2.2.2 but even
with that I got the same problem. Someone wanted me to reload Samba after
addprinter command since I had missed the step of reloading the Samba after
the addprinter command while writing the mail. But I do reload Samba after
that. Still I get the problem.
Do help me out of this.
Thanks & Regards,
Karthik.

> STEP BY STEP ACCOUNT OF HOW I CONFIGURED SAMBA FOR AUTOMATIC DOWNLOAD:
>
> At Linux:
> 1.Created a group "ntadmin" in Linux machine.
> 2.Created a user "padmin" in group "ntadmin" (as printer administrator)
> 3.Created the appropriate folders (W32X86 and WIN40) at
/home/samba/printers
> where the driver files are uploaded. Gave chmod 775 for "printers" folder.
> 4.Added an user with the "hostname" followed by $ where hostname is the
name
> of the Windows machine used to upload.
> 5.Added the "hostname$" as well as "padmin" to the smbpasswd list
> 6.Add the following to smb.conf file:
> #under global-
> printer admin = @ntadmin
> printing = cups
> addprinter command = /usr/bin/addprinter
>
> #A new share
> [print$]
> path = home/samba/printers
> public = yes
> browseable = yes
> read only = yes
> write list = Administrator,padmin,root
> directory mask = 0775
>
> 5.Created the script addprinter to add the printer to CUPS as follows.
> #!/bin/sh
> driver = $(grep -lr "$4" /home/samba/printers/W32X86 | head -1)
> /usr/sbin/lpadmin -p $2 -P $driver -L "$5" -v "parallel:/dev/lp0"
>
> At Windows NT:
> 1. Logged in as "padmin" into the Samba server and tried to upload a
driver
> through "AddPrinter" at Printers folder.
