I 'd like to use the print$ function to download printer driver from the
server . So after reading the documentation i've added the following thinks
in my smb.conf
in Global section
printer admin = root, admin
in service section:
[print$]
path=/etc/samba/printers
browseable =yes
read only = yes
write list = admin,root
I've made the following directories under /etc/samba/printers:
W32X86
WIN40
so I've got the following directories:
/etc/samba/printers/W32X86
/etc/samba/printers/WIN40
So After i connect from a Win2K client the following share \\serveur\print$
using the admin user:
I see the W32X86 and WIN40 directories, but i don't see any printer defined
in the smb.conf file.
What's wrong ?
Do y need to create manually sub-directories in /etc/samba/printers/W32X86
and /etc/samba/printers/WIN40 called the printer name ?
For example create a directory /etc/samba/printers/W32X86/hp1 to put in it
drivers files for the printer called hp1.
so if someone has got an example of conf files implementing the print$
function, please send it to me.
Is this system works for win9x also ?
