[Samba] Problem print driver distrib. for NT with smb2.2.3.a

[Peer-Joachim Koch]

Hi,

I want to set up a samba print server for our institute.
It works well, but I'm not able to get the printer drivers
on the samba server, so that a client is able to connect
to a printer and get the printer drivers (if necessary)
from the samba server too.
I'm using a linux box with suse 7.2. I downloaded the
current samba and installed it. I added the smb.conf
and the output from the rpcclient commands.
The driver are added to the W32X86 folder, but can not
be installed. Also the print server does not seemed to know
the files.

Has somebody a hint for me ?
How can I see something in the log files (log level 5 is not
good enough, what would be good for this problem) ?

Please send a copy of your answer as e-mail. I will
post a summary with (hopefully) the solution.

Thanks a lot, Peer
