Hello all, I've sucessfully set up a samba server on RH 7.2 to serve
printing to my clients... I've used "make_printerdef" and created a
printers.def file to automatically send drivers on down to the client,
but I've ran into trouble on a newer inkjet (HP Deskjet 840c). Because
it's driver is not in the stock NT "ntprint.inf," I've had to download
the drivers from HP. When I ran "make_printerdef" on the included inf
file (hpf840n.inf) I get the output
Printer not found No [Strings] block in inf file
How can I set up this driver to get set up on the clients
automatically? Is there a faq somewhere on how to do "make_printerdef"
manually?
Thanks -
Nick
