Hi,
Have been batteling with cups and samba for a week.
My desred setup is as follows:
Printers are connected to debian 4 server.
I want to allow printing from the local network.
Linux clients automatically detect printers using cups browsing
Windows uses samba printers, using the print$ share to get CUPS' postscript drivers
Having collected the necessary driver files:
Code:
debian4:/usr/share/cups/drivers# ls -al
total 1452

Unable to set Windows printer driver (1)!
I can create and delete files in print$ when i browse to it from a windows host, though I can't change printer prefrences.
Anybody experienced with cups and samba know what the problem is here?
Thanks
