I'm using the standard CUPS drivers. They work with all of the
printers I need to support (HP, Konica, Kyocera, Toshiba, Xerox,
etc.). I have another blog post about using those:
http://blog.realcomputerguy.com/2011/10/cups-samba-64bit-driver-installation.html

Unfortunately the links to the CUPS drivers are now defunct - a sad
day when Apple bought EasySW.

Regretting the day when those will become unusable... they make things so easy.

Hi Chris,
Thank you for this. Unfortunately i do not even get that far. Windows 
claims that there is no driver found :(


Does the driver have to be installed manually?

[Samba] Samba 3 and Windows 8 Point'n'Print drivers

2013-06-06 Thread Lukasz Zalewski

Hi list,
To my best knowledge samba 3 does not support level 4 drivers used by 
Windows 8 for Point'n'Print (If that is not the case could you let me 
know the minimal version of samba required?)


According to

Windows 8 should be able to use level 3 drivers, but it does not seem to 
work for me.

make this happen?


I know there was a small patch submitted to the list quite a while ago, 
but i would rather not do that.


Many thanks
