I still do not have this working, and I checked everything that was suggested
so far. Does anyone have an idea of what is likely the cause? I may find a
solution if I knew the cause. For example, are the printer drivers not
showing up because samba cannot write to a tdb file? Or perhaps something
else?
I do not know enough about the internals of samba to make an educated guess as
to what may be the cause here. I'm hoping someone else does know enough.. :)
Thanks again.
