Hi,
I have a strange problem with samba (3.0.23), cups (1.2.1), windows 2k
(all patches up2date) and the printer drivers (cups 5, cups 6).
I setup samba to share the printers configured in cups and added the
printer admin privilege to some users.
Now I can upload the printer drivers using cupsaddsmb. This works
without any problems.
Even my Windows 2k clients connect without any problems. But...
But when I try to access the settings panel of any of my printers
windows asks me to install new drivers.
The error message is (translated from the german message):
"The device settings cannot be displayed. The driver for this driver is
not installed. Only spooling preferences are displayed. Do you want to
install the driver now?"
I checked everything I know about this field (I already have about 10
similar settings all working fine (using samba 3.0.14 and cups 1.1.21).
But now I'm out of ideas on how to go on.
Does anyone out there have a hint on where to look?
Cheers
Nicki
