Thanks for replying.

We have several printers here. The color printers are an HP 4550 networked with a JetDirect, a Ricoh Aficio CL7000, and a Konica Minolta 2430DL. I am using the CUPS Windows driver v. 6.0. I am wondering if the Active Directory setup is what is causing my problems, as other Samba howto's have required modification from what is in print in order to work in AD. AD seems to add an extra layer of complexity to the setup. I have tried CUPS ppd's and the NT4 ppd's from the manufacturer. None of them work in color from Windows clients.

I also /just/ found out that I cannot upload a driver - "access denied" - something I've already seen in other Samba shares (another AD gotcha). Only thing is, this time the permissions look right to me.

Hmmm... Be careful with the 1.2 series of CUPS. I've noticed problems with color printer ppds in this version. I've been using 1.1.23 with foomatic/postscript drivers (downloaded from linuxprinting.org) with no real problems. What kind of color laser printers do you have? At my job, we use HP 4550Ns. Also, make sure you're using the CUPS windows driver with your Windows clients. That may help a bit.
