There are some I've never gotten to work. There's a crash (unhandled exception or something like that) right in the middle of configuring the driver that looked very much to me that it was a call back to the server. Certain Konica-Minolta drivers do this. Any other wisdom out there on this subject would be appreciated. I don't know of a list.
I may try again, now that my server's up to the latest greatest 3.x... ________________________________ From: Roel van Meer <[email protected]> To: ray klassen <[email protected]> Cc: [email protected] Sent: Mon, 19 April, 2010 0:17:48 Subject: Re: [Samba] Point'n'print support of various printer drivers ray klassen writes: > The problem is always when a printer driver makes a call to a windows dll on > the server which the linux server can't respond to.
