[Samba] DIFFICULT printing question SAMBA/WinXP/Cups

[Michael Gasch]

hi there

following this guide 
http://de.samba.org/samba/docs/man/printing.html#id2933004

i try to add network printers on clients via startup-script

my problem: samba should just be the "driver provider" and not spool 
print jobs...those should go directly to the printers

it should just give the needed driver to the client and tell him, that 
he should use a TCP/IP port and NOT the samba-printing-port

my script:

rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /in /n "\\sambapdc\copy07.my.domain" 
/r "IP_192.168.1.1"

192.168.1.1 = TCP/IP Port of the Printer "copy07"

but it doesn't work -> the printer maps perfectly but the port is "Samba 
Printer Port" and i can't "add a new port", because "this request is not 
supported"

hence the printer is not shared in my smb.conf (just the neccessary CUPS 
entries to give a driver to the clients), the "Samba Printer Port" 
points to "nowhere"


-- smb.conf snip --

[global]

    printing = CUPS
    printcap name = CUPS
    load printers = yes


[print$]
    comment = Printer Driver Download Area
    path = /sambadrivers
    browseable = yes
    guest ok = yes
    read only = yes
    write list = root


[printers]
    comment = All Printers
    path = /var/spool/samba
    browseable = no
    public = yes
    guest ok = yes
    writable = no
    printable = yes
    printer admin = root

please help me
ask me, if i forgot something
