Hello Kurt,
first I like to thank you that you try to help me.
I will try to explain my problem exactly. Here is what I have done.
I set up Samba as an PDC. I generated shares and printershares. I browsed my network over the Networkneighborhood down to my Sambaserver. There I can see all File and Printershares. I doubleclicked
Which client Win OS are you using?
the printerfolder where I then can see only shared printers and one folder calld new printer. I then rightclicked a shared printer and went to the process for uploading the printerdriver in the Sambaserver. So far so good. Everything is ok. No errors
Now i will install the printer on the client machine.
One way is to browse the Networkneighborhood. So I browsed one folder up, there where I can see printer- and fileshares. I rightclick the printer for wich I first installed the drivers in the server and choosed connect. The drivers were downloaded from the server and printer is installed an the client. The client is able to print correctly.
Browsing the Network is one way to install a printer on a client.
And this is the recomended way in the HOWTO....
An other way to install a printer on a client is to use the controlpanal.
Well, at least in the HOWTO this is nowhere recommended... (It is even in a pure MS Windows environment a much slower way to do it, if you have more than a few dozen PCs and printers...)
This doesn't say that there might not be a bug with that part of the Samba-Code, however...)
So I clicked the startbutton on the client, went to the controlpanel, clicked Printers, clicked Add new Printer, choosed Networkprinter, left the printername empty to search for the printer, clicked continue button, and then --> there I can see the domain, some clients wich belong to the domain and wich offers printer, but not my samba server.
You'd need to post your smb.conf (minus comments) to get more advice on that....
I hope you now understand what I mean.
Yes.
Today I tried with Suse Sles8, the newest updates, but still the same problem. 2.2.8a worked right, but I'm not able to get this running with Samba3.
I realy hope that I now have exactly explained what I mean.
Thanks a lot, and I hope to hear you.
MfG Stefan
Cheers, Kurt
