Both clients should be able to upload drivers for their corresponding architecture using the \\$server\printer-server properties dialogue. Association of the driver with the printer must be done using a client whose architecture matches the Samba spoolss architecture, for (slightly) more details see: https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6888#c21 Cheers, David -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba

Current drivers must 'decorate' models-section-name entries with a target platform extension. If the inf-files's manufacturer section has no entry for windows versions prior to XP (which is Version 5.1) it won't install on a Samba server, which has a windows version 5.0. You can try to manually tweak the inf-file. Try to google for inf file syntax. I can't offer a general solution, cause inf-files can be quite complex. Maybe it works, if you replace every occurrence of NTamd64.6.0 with NTamd64.5.0.
