Hi list,
I have a problem adding printer drivers for automatic downloading via
samba for windows 2000 clients.
Under cups I added my printer and copied the Adobe postscript driver
files like mentioned in printer_driver2.html. And when I finally
commit:
cupsaddsmb -v -U root normal (normal is the name of the printer)

And here is the output:
sphinx:/usr/share/cups # cupsaddsmb -v -U root normal
Password for root required to access localhost via SAMBA:

As you can see, the process won't finish successfully. I send my
smb.conf as attachement and can provide logfiles, if they are of any
help to you.
I don't understand, why this procedure is not successful and I hope,
that anyone of you can shed light onto this miracle...

Cheers
