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

[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?
