Hi,

I am having this problem with the uploading of printer drivers to my Samba server's print$ share:

I am logged in on my Win XP machine as user "root" and connected to the Samba server as user root. I can access the print$ share and can upload files there manually without problems.

I can see and select the printer on the Samba Server (in Network Neighborhood), and I can start the driver upload wizard.

But once I click on "finish" in the Wizard and the driver files start uploading to the print$ share, I get the error message "file cannot be copied", and I should check if the files on the source media are available (they are). If I click on "retry" a couple of times, sometimes one of the files is finally copied correctly (and appears in the W32X86 directory), and the upload hangs on the next file. I see files like "set123.tmp" appear and disappear again, doing that.

There are no errors in the log.smbd.

I am using Samba 3.0.25b on OpenSuSE 10.2 (x86_64), Linux 2.6.18.8. The file system for the print$ share is ext3 on a software RAID1. My client is XP Home. I tried it from an XP Pro machine with the same results.

Any ideas anyone?

Best Regards,

Arno
