Printing in Samba 2.2.4 at a HP-UX system

Hi
As I described in a previous mail I have had a lot of problems using the
Samba facilities for supporting printer drivers in a Windows 2000
environment. The Samba server v. 2.2.4 is running at a HP-UX system
using
the printing = hpux and the printcap name = lpstat as all other sysv
systems. This works fine for sending the network names to the windows
clients, and printing to the share, but as soon as I try to configure
one
of the printers or downloading a driver for the printer I get an error
message
like:
"Printer properties can not be displayes. Operation could not be
completed".
I then got the idea to configure a printer manually (as a printer
share).
Doing this I suddenly got access to configuration of the printer and I
got the possibility to download the printer driver to the server!
Does anyone know what the problem in the original configuration with a
printers share compared to the new share ps2_2 are? These parts of the
smbconf file are attached below:
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /usr/spool/samba
create mask = 0700
guest ok = Yes
printable = Yes
browseable = No
[ps2_2]
path = /usr/spool/samba
printable = Yes
printer name = ps2
printer driver file =
Hope that someone can give me a hint of where and how to solve this
problem, because it would be quit annoying if I should remove the
printers
share and manually define and update all shares for our printers
Best regards
