I have made some progress.
I manually add a printer using the following steps
1) Share CUPS 6 for Windows 2000/XP drivers using Samba
2) Boot up in Windows and log into an administrator account
3) In Windows, select Printers and Faxes in the settings menu
4) Then select Add Printers and Faxes
5) Select Network Printers
6) In the URL box (usually the third option), type http://192.168.1.101:631/printers/BrotherHL5140
7) When Add Driver menu comes up, click Have Disk...
8) Access the directory or shares where CUPS 6 for Windows 2000/XP installation files are stored
9) Select cups6.inf and click OK
10) Click continued to resume driver installation when it says CUP 6 is not digitally signed by Microsoft
11) Either print a test page or visit a favorite site and print
Depending on the settings that I setup in CUPS on the Linux host, the print out quality will be the same. I also set Windows, so it sends it to my Linux box to spool instead of first spooling it on Windows.
cat /etc/cups/cupsd.conf

Telling Samba where the drivers for the printer is a different story. Again I would like to use CUPS 6 for Windows 2000/XP. I tried typing:
Code:
rpcclient localhost -Uroot%XXXX -c 'adddriver "Windows NT x86" "BrotherHL5140:pscript5.dll:cups6.ppd:ps5ui.dll:pscript.hlp:NULL:RAW:pscript.ntf,cups6.ini,cupsps6.dll,cupsui6.dll"'
It prints "WERR_UNKNOWN_PRINTER_DRIVER". I do not mind doing the steps to add a printer in Windows, but I would like to get the Point 'n Click feature working in Samba.
Can anybody help me!
