[Samba] Samba Print Problem (Everything Looks Right)

Try 'guest ok = yes' - otherwise any slight change in credentials will
block access to the print$ share - and anyway, it shouldn't matter if
an unauthorised user can copy your driver files ;-)

This is the classic scenario of 'the driver was never originally
installed' - I don't know if you can successfully install it from here,
I've always deleted the locally installed printer and then gone back to
the server and double-clicked on the printer again.

Yes, Windows will display the standard pages that aren't driver
specific.  That's odd that you can print a test page though.

Did you install the PostScript driver or the CUPS driver?  From your
last post it looks like both are installed at the same time - but as
I've never used the CUPS driver, that might be normal.  Although it
could explain why you were able to print (via one driver) but not
display the properties (problem with the other driver.)

When you double-click on the printer on the server (assuming it's not
installed locally) that's when it tries to copy the driver across.
What happens when you do this?

Cheers,
Adam.
