Hello,
I am attemping to upload printer drivers onto a new samba server running
3.0.21. Client computers that I have tried to upload the drivers from are
Windows XP SP2, Windows 2000 SP4. The upload process works just like it is
documented
1.) double click on printer and answer NO to
2.) Click on new driver button under advanced
3.) Find Driver and click OK then Finish
4.) watch as windows copies the driver files over to $print ( on the server
I do see files being saved)
5.) Windows prompts me with
a.) Windows XP-->"The Driver that you are trying to install is not
compatible with Windows XP, Please contact the manufacturer for an update
version.
b.) Windows 2000 -->"The print driver you selected is ether no
compatible with your current version of Windows, or it may not be available.
Select a compatible driver from the list, or contact you administrator for
help.
6.) After clicking the all mighty OK, windows cleans up the driver from
$print. leaving a empty $print.
I know that the driver works from windows it is the HP 4000 PCL driver. So I
know the message is not true. What can be done to fix this ??? My config is
as follows
my $print
