[Samba] WIN40 printer driver on Solaris not being installed?

Fri Oct 18 15:36:50 GMT 2002

hello samba gurus:

Well, I didn't hear back from anyone, and I haven't had any luck in my own 
trials. Since my original message, I have built 2.2.6 (final release) and 
have had the same problem. Does anyone have any ideas, suggestions, pointers 
that would help me track down this error and resolve it?

To recap, the basic problem is this:
I built samba 2.2.6 for Solaris and installed it with a printer share. I then 
used the rpcclient to install the printer drivers. Not all of the driver 
files get installed into WIN40/0 (they stay in WIN40) and when I attempt to 
install the drivers from Win98 machine, samba's log begins to list the first 
few files in the driver then says there are 0 files for this driver.

However, this all works fine when I build the package for debian.

any assistance would be appreciated
thanks
~John
