Hello everyone,

I am having trouble uploading drivers for Kyocera Mita 5035
multifunction fax/copier/printer machine. This is what I do to upload
dirvers:

Login to windows machine running XP (tried with m2k)

1. Download driver for Kyocera Mita 5035. (it comes as EXE file) 
http://www.kyocera.com.au/cs_drivers.asp

2. Install driver to the the local machine. During installation kyocera
directory is created:
C:\Prog Files\Kyocera\...\driver. 

3. Mount \\samba_server\printers as user who is member of "print admin"
group ( see smb.conf for more details ).

4. Select Kyocera Mita 5035 from a list of available printers
Open 
        properties > advanced > load driver
        Browse to: C:\Prog Files\Kyocera\...\driver.
5. Installation begins; according to status bar 2/3 of files are copied.
Suddenly it stops and an error message displayed:
        
My Setup 
samba_server: is domain controller for domain geosci
cups_servcer: Debian Sarge.

Version 3.0.21.

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

[print$]
   comment = Printer Drivers Repository
   path = /etc/samba/printer-drivers
   browseable = yes
   public = yes
   read only = yes
   #members of sys group wheel can install drivers
   write list = root @wheel
   printer admin = @wheel

Is there anything I can do to debug this issue?
