I've just upgraded from Samba 2.0 (Debian 2.2 "potato") to Samba 2.2 (Debian 3.0 "woody"), and I'm trying to get the print driver functionality working.
My test server is a Debian 3.0r1 system running Samba 2.2.3a. My test client is running Windows 2000 Professional SP1. I'm following the procedure in the Samba-HOWTO-Collection, namely: Browse to the Samba server Open the Printers folder Right-click a printer, select "Properties" Click "No" when asked if I want to install a print driver Advanced tab "New Driver" button If I don't have any printers installed on the client, I select the print driver from the list in the APDW and click "Finish." At this point, a dialog asking me for the Windows 2000 CD pops up. (Exact text: "Insert disk" "Please insert the Compact Disc labeled "Windows 2000 Server CD-ROM" into your CD-ROM drive (D:) and then click OK.") It does not appear to be able to locate the correct driver files on the Win2k disc, and the process fails. If I have already installed the printer (and installed a local print driver on the client), everything appears to work, except no driver is uploaded to my Samba server. It appears that the driver is (re-)installed on the client, instead of the server. Windows XP SP1 seems to exhibit the exact same behavior. I tried using Imprints next, but imprints.samba.org is dead, and imprints.samba.org doesn't seem to have any driver packages available. What's going wrong? -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
