Hi
i'm not quite sure if this has something todo with your problem:
i have 3 printershares and i figured out the drivers for win9X.
(Will this function for NT machines in future ?).
[lj4000]
printer driver location = \\karfinux\printer$\lj4000 <- this works fine.
[lj4000]
printer driver location = \\karfinux\printer$\lj4000pcl6 <- this does
not work.
win can't find the files to copy in \\karfinux\printer$\lj4000pcl6 it
says.
when i renamed lj4000pcl6 to lj4000 everything worked fine.
is there another 8 letter-problem or even 10 letters ?
