Here are some more details. I am using samba 3.0.2a-Debian so that rules out the possibility of the bug mentioned here: http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2004-February/080294.html. I am using the printer drivers from HPs website (http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareList?product=71896&lang=en&lc=en &cc=us&dlc=en&os=228). I can print locally using the HPIJS drivers, how do I figure out what PPD? I added the drivers using the add printer wizard in Windows XP. Another thing, the printer is not connected directly to the machine running cups and samba; it is attached to a SMC router/print server. The SMC router has a proprietary driver for windows and a more standard one for Linux so I decided to avoid that by connecting it to the Linux box and sharing it via samba. The printers.conf is below. I can print just fine if I disconnect a computer from the network and install the drivers by hand then reconnect. If I can't get point and print to work is there a way to reset the drivers so it will prompt for me to find them locally rather than installing ones that don't work?
