Hi,
I've been reading the docn on installing printers via the samba server
and I find it all rather confusing so I'm hoping some nice person out
there can explain it a bit more clearly.
I have Win2k clients/Solaris 7 Samba server (2.2.2). What I want to get
working is client PCs installing printers as easily as possible (i.e.
so that our users can do it and not me !). I have installed network
printers as administrator on Win2k clients and it works (although we get
a status message of "Access Denied, Cannot Connect" ?) but when a new
printer arrives I want to make the process easier. I guess ideally I'd
like the user to look on the share, double click a printer and the
printer & drivers get installed.
- I'm not sure what I should define in my smb.conf ?
- What directory structure I should have on the samba print$ share ?
- Instead of using imprints (which I couldn't get to work), can I use
the exe bundles supplied at hp.com ?
Hope someone can help
Regards
Steve Law
