Hey,
I've just installed a HPDeskjet 930C printer on my ubuntu server edition system. I printed a test page from the CUPS web panel and it works fine. Only problem is I can't get it to work with windows.
Samba is sharing it and windows sees it but when I try to connect to it I'm told to install drivers but they don't stick. From what I can see windows isn't seeing a model and thus getting confused. Here is the error windows throws out:
Code:
The '' printer driver is not installed on this computer.
Some printer properties will not be accessible unless you install the printer driver.
Do you want to install the driver now?
Here is my samba.conf section:
Code:
[printers]
comment = All Printers
browseable = no
path = /var/spool/samba
printable = yes
guest ok = no
read only = yes
create mask = 0700
# Windows clients look for this share name as a source of downloadable
# printer drivers
[print$]
comment = Printer Drivers
path = /var/lib/samba/printers
browseable = yes
read only = yes
guest ok = no
Thanks!
