Re: [Samba] Printer driver auto upload.
In my opinion this is a completly un-acceptable way to install drivers to a print server. Im sure the Greyed out'ness is caused by some obscure registry setting MS has added in one of the latest patches to XP to further hinder anyone useing a samba server. WHY CANT WE JUST PUT THE DAMN FILES ON THE FUCKING FILESYSTEM LIKE EVERY NORMAL APPLICATION WOULD?! Oh, well that would be entirely too easy.

[Samba] Printer driver auto upload.
Hello ! How can I configure samba to upload a particular driver when installing a printer shared. (cups + samba 3 + cups-pdf). In my particular case, I share a cups-pdf virtual printer and I would like samba to send the HP Color Laserjet 8500 PS driver when I connect to it. I've searched the web but didn't find any clear answer. It seems that a lot of things are depreciated now, so please give me the tips or an updated howto page for doing this !!
