Hi
I've got some problems with the download of Adobe PostScript printer
drivers on a Windows 98 client :
On the server side (Red Hat 9 / Samba 3.0.1 / Cups 1.1.17) :
I installed succesfully my printers with Cups and they work fine on Linux
I ran cupsaddsmb tool to copy the Adobe files in the [print$] directory
which gives this result :
...../W32X86/2 : cupsdrvr.dll cups.hlp cupsui.dll hp2200.ppd
hp2300.ppd
...../WIN40 : ADFONTS.DLL DEFPRTR2.PPD ICONLIB.DLL PSMON.DLL
...../WIN40/0 : ADOBEPS4.DRV ADOBEPS4.HLP hp2200.PPD hp2300.PPD
On the client side (Windows 98) :
I install the printer via the Network Neighbourhood but only the
ADOBEPS4.DRV file is copied from the server and Windows can't print the
Test Page.
If I manually install the Adobe Drivers on the client, I can use the
printer.
I think that there is an error while the files are copied to the client
but I found no information in Samba's log and Cups logs.
I don't understand what's going on, can someone help me ?
Thank you all and sorry for my bad english : )
