Hi,
I've set up a printer called "UREW-EDV" using the cups webinterface.
After that an enumprinters give the following output:
rpcclient $> enumprintershp LaserJet 1320 PCL 6
flags:[0x800000]
name:[\\server\UREW-EDV]
description:[\\server\UREW-EDV,,Netzwerkdrucker-EDV]
comment:[Netzwerkdrucker-EDV]
Next step is uploading a driver using APW:
http://samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/classicalprinting.html#id388469
This works fine, but afterwards the name of the printer is changed to
the name _of the driver_ (in this case from "UREW-EDV" to "hp LaserJet
1320 PCL 6"):
rpcclient $> enumprinters
flags:[0x800000]
name:[\\server\hp LaserJet 1320 PCL 6] <- ???
description:[\\server\hp LaserJet 1320 PCL 6,hp LaserJet 1320 PCL
6,Netzwerkdrucker-EDV]
comment:[Netzwerkdrucker-EDV]
Now the printer is shown as "hp LaserJet 1320 PCL 6" under \\server ->
"Printer and Faxes". Why that? To correct this I have to open the
printer properties and set the name back to "UREW-EDV" manually. Without
this correction the PrintandPoint feature for this printer doesn't work.
It took me a hole night to figure this out. Is this a normal behaviour
or is this my mistake?
