Hello =)

I just redo it to be sure. Neither "Connect..." nor
"Properties" work =(

If I choose "Properties", a box appears with message "Printer
properties cannot be displayed. Operation could not be completed".

If I choose "Connect...", windows says "The server on which
the 'PdfPrinter' printer resides does not have the correct
printer driver installed. If you want to install the driver on
your local computer, click OK.". It does not download driver
from samba server =(

I wonder if the problem could occure 'cause the printer is a
virtual printer?

By the way, checking one more time samba doc, I can "see"
driver from windows (right-click on background of folder
Printers, Server Properties, Drivers) _BUT_ I cannot "see"
printer properties doing a right-click on it as said above. So
, from doc's point of view (Chapter 18. Classical Printing
Support/Check Samba for Driver Recognition), I pass the second
and third test, but not the first one.

Thanks for your help =)

I keep searching...

See U =)
