Hello to all of you !
By installing my samba-printserver I have discovered some problems
that I can`t solve. I am using a Suse 7.2 linux-distribution and samba
version 2.2.0.
The printing works fine, but I am not able to distribute the printer
drivers to my
Windows NT 4.0 clients. I build the driver packages using lpadmin. I also
created the print$ share and the W32X86 subfolder. I installed an
additional
subfolder for each printer-model I wanna use and extracted the printer
driver package to the specific
subfolder.
Can anyone help me out of my misery ?
Dennis
