 |
|
Hi there, I have samba working but the only thing I have left to make it work is the printer's driver thing.
If I tried to add the printer in two Windows XP, they see the printer but If I say to install the driver from the server, they don't get it, they said it doesn't have got the driver.
Well, I have download the driver from cups website, I did the "make install" as root and samba config is:
| Quote: | [global]
workgroup = CASA
netbios name = Hit-Gentoo
server string = Samba Server %v
printcap name = cups
load printers = yes
printing = cups
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
max log size = 50
hosts allow = 127.0.0.1 192.168.0.1/24
hosts deny = 0.0.0.0/0
map to guest = bad user
security = user
encrypt passwords = yes
username map = /etc/samba/smbusers
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
interfaces = eth0
bind interfaces only = yes
wins support = yes
wins proxy = yes
dns proxy = no
[homes]
comment = Home Directories
browseable = no
writable = yes
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/samba
browseable = yes
# set to yes to allow user 'guest account' to print.
guest ok = yes
writable = no
printable = yes
public = yes
public = yes
[print$]
comment = Printer Drivers
path = /var/lib/samba/printers
browseable = yes
read only = yes
write list = root
guest ok = yes
[HP_psc_2400_series]
comment = HP PSC 2400 Series NetWork Printer
printable = yes
path = /var/spool/samba
public = yes
guest ok = yes
[public]
comment = Public Share
path = /home/hitmaker/compartido
read only = no
guest ok = yes
browseable = yes
public = yes
#create mode = 0766
[Series]
comment = Series
path = /home/hitmaker/Series
read only = yes
guest ok = yes
browseable = yes

Any idea? the drivers I installed are in /usr/share/cups/drivers/
But no idea what to do.

| It is possible to distribute the driver through Samba. But I think you will be faster off if you just installed the driver through Windows and let it connect to the Linux box. I don't know what printer you have so I can't provide specific instructions. Hope this suggestion could help you... |

I have no experience in this, but if I remember correctly you should just fire up the installer and proceed. If it asks to connect the printer, then say you want to continue despite the fact the printer is not available. Or is this not possible? |
