Hi All, I'm implementing a Samba as print server and I would like to share all drivers to be installed on clients using the "print$" share (to be installed automatically). My system is a SUSE 9.1 Professional, and the samba version is samba 3.0.4-1. The drivers are located on /var/lib/samba/drivers.
I have made some tests with 3 printers (all had functioned correctly). To install the printers, I'm using the Windows API whitout problems but I have some doubts: - How I remove some driver? And update? - How I verify which files are provided by a specific driver? - The drivers are organized using numbers (explained into the Samba Howto) and architecture. How Samba manage the drivers to guarantee that the installed versions aren't replaced? In an example, if I install some HP printers, will Samba guarantee that some DLL aren't replaced? How it is done? - Reading the printers.tdb file, I found that is provided some information about the drivers. How I make a backup of this drivers to restore in case of disaster? - I'll provide a lot of printers (more than 20 printers) on this server, all sharing this own driver. It's really possible, or this recurse is recommended only to small servers?
