RH 7.2 (LPRng) samba installed from 2.2.5-1 rpm with the following
patches from http://us4.samba.org/samba/ftp/patches/jerry/post-2.2.5/:
Makefile.in.patch
addform.diff
ldap_start_tls.patch
parse_sec.patch
srv_spoolss_nt.patch
security=domain (using winbind), authenticate against windows pdc and
use windows wins server.
What I do:
Connect to \\share-name from w2k pro as printer admin, double-click
printers, right click on a printer in question, select properties.
I choose not to install a driver locally right now, viewing spooler
properties is fine.
Now I go to upload a new driver under the Advanced tab from disk. I
point to the manufacturer's .inf, select correct printer, next, finish.
Now windows asks for *.inf on W2K Server CD-ROM, but I don't see one
that matches the printer. Here should I just point back to the
manufacturer's .inf? This is what I did. Another time I selected the
directory from the CD-ROM, but windows didn't see anything it liked
there and prompted me again for *.inf on W2K Server CD-ROM. Anyway, at
this point I just selected the manufacturer's OEMSETUP.INF again.
Windows notified me that the .inf file does not contain a Microsoft
digital signiature. I clicked Yes, Continue.
Files upload to print share... I see them on the server in path/to/W32X86/2
I click OK (or Apply), and get the hourglass, and the properties window
for the printer becomes unresponsive. If I later end that task and try
to print a test page, windows reports a failure.
Does anyone here see anything wrong in what I did? What level logs
should I post? I have successfully uploaded drivers and been able to
print using standard windows drivers for a different printer (LaserJet
IIISi). But now that I'm trying to install drivers from disk for this
printer I get no luck.
Thanks for your help,
Daniel
