Tried this. I can get the driver to upload if I use Z52 drivers instead of Z53. Supposedly they are 100% compatible on the Linux/Samba side but I don't know about the differences between client side drivers. Anyway, I can successfully add the printer this way but then can't get access to it. I show these files in the /var/spool/samba directory but am not sure if they are print jobs or drivers. Print jobs probably, but then why don't they print?
Hey.
By no means an expert, so just guessing. I sympathize with your hatred,
however :) . I do not have any experience with letting the Linux box worry
about the driver, so I don't know if I'll be of any help. I've always used
drivers on the Win side. If this is what you want to do, you may need to use
"use client driver = yes" in the section where the given printer is shared.

I did try to do some printing as Administrator to try and get around the access problem.
This is a Samba LDAP setup BTW but I doubt that this should matter.
Without this option, I _have_ been able to print from 9X and 2k machines, however, under status the Win box will say "Access denied, unable to connect". I do not have access to my config files as I am at work, but can get them after 3:30pm today if you are still having problems. Something to check would be the permissions on the "/var/spool/samba" directory and its parent directories. I believe "samba" should be world writeable and the sticky bit should be set on it. Parent directories should have execute flag
I believe they already are set: [EMAIL PROTECTED] spool]# ls -l | grep samba drwxrwxrwt 2 root root 248 Jul 21 15:27 samba/ drwxrwxrwt 2 root root 48 Jul 21 15:36 samba3/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] spool]#
Does the "t" represent the sticky bit? Should I change the create mask?
. . . At least in a simple setup anyway. It looks like your doing something with a bit more security (create mask=0700), however. I'll look into it a bit more when I get home, as I am a bit lost without my box in front of me. Good luck.
