Nope. use client driver is a severe hack to be used **only** when you want to install the drivers locally on the client for a given printer. Generally disable spoolss is cleaner, but that is a global setting. The use client driver parameter allows drivers to be made available on the server for some printers and not others. Never enable it for a printer that will provide drivers on the server. cheers, jerry ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Hewlett-Packard ------------------------- http://www.hp.com SAMBA Team ---------------------- http://www.samba.org GnuPG Key ---- http://www.plainjoe.org/gpg_public.asc "You can never go home again, Oatman, but I guess you can shop there." --John Cusack - "Grosse Point Blank" (1997) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://quantumlab.net/pine_privacy_guard/ iD8DBQE+SmlEIR7qMdg1EfYRAsePAJ4v/tARyYA2giIQmqTyDqHptuNZnwCdGM6/ kthtIDcjoRU8//MOrltAmlM= =J+mV -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
