printing

[Mike.Robinson]

I'm using smbd version 2.1.0-prealpha as an NT domain server and have a problem
connecting to printers. The error messages I get in log.pc_name are of the
form:

[1999/11/24 15:07:57, 2] printing/nt_printing.c:get_a_printer_2(785)
  cannot open printer file [/usr/local/samba/lib/NTprinter_ps2met]
  NULL pointer, memory not alloced ?

although the printer is recognised:

[1999/11/24 15:41:33, 3] param/loadparm.c:lp_add_printer(1610)
  adding printer service ps2met

When I try to install the printer on the PC (running NT 4.0 SP4), I get 
"Cannot connect to the printer: Unknown error"

Is it looking for a driver in /usr/local/samba/lib/NTprinter_ps2met and is
there any way that I can switch off this facility?

Best wishes,

Mike Robinson
