With a HP laserjet 2100 it worked, with a HP Deskjet 895 CXi it didnt.

Re: [Samba] So SAMBA no longer supports print driver downloads
Hi, could it be a problem with the operating system, samba runs on? On Solaris 2.8 I have the same problems, decribed above, but not on linux (both running samba 2.2.7a and cups-1.1.18). Another difference is, that our solaris samba printer server is a member server of a NT4.0 controlled domain. The linux samba printer server acts as a PDC itself. I don't know, but maybe this information helps.. Greetings Hansjörg Gerald (Jerry) Carter wrote: -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 On Wed, 29 Jan 2003, Robert M.

I still perplexed that the driver download settings were OK for printer admins, but messed-up for regular users. This looks like the same problem going back to Samba versions prior to 2.2.2, problems which I had thought fixed. -Bob ** Speaking only for myself - CSU pays better people than me to speak for them.

The drivers that come with w2k XP works. If you have to use the drivers from the manufakturer of the printer try the default devmode parameter in smb.conf to initialize the driver. Once done you can remove the default devmode from smb.conf. Just a try, has worked for me with HP Deskjet 970 driver.

RE: [Samba] So SAMBA no longer supports print driver downloads
I really do have print drivers going to my Windows 2000 clients. I am using 2.2.7 I created a print$ share and gave everyone read access to it. I then gave write access. check out this page it has a lot of good info I didn't go so far as creating a way to add or delete printers remotely, just did the drivers section.
