been this route not long ago...

If everything is set up as per the How-to what you are probably missing is that
you must be root [or an NT user mapped to root if you have an NT domain] in
order to add drivers to the server.

hope this helps...

Hello all,

This seems so trivial and I am embarrassed by asking.

I followed all the directions in the Samba-How-To guide concerning printing.
I set up the print$ share and all the subdirectories under as explained.
When I try to connect to the printer from another machine I get -

The server on which the printer resides does not have a suitable NULL
printer driver installed. Click on OK if you wish to install the driver on
your local machine.

After choosing o.k. it installs to my local machine just fine. What I want
to do is install the driver to the server so that when someone else connects
it automatically gives it to them (NT 4.0).

Can someone tell me why I cant do this? What stupid thing am I over looking.

Thanks in advance.
