I'm trying to share my HP 5610 on my Samba (3.0.24-1 fc6 x86_64) machine and
am running into a typical HP related SANFU. The XP drivers supplied only
install through the installation program. (ie. I can't use device manager
to point XP to the driver and install it) So I installed the printer on my
XP machine, used the installation program to install the drivers and then
shared the printer out and copied the folders and files in the print$ share
to my samba machine /var/spool/samba/ (rwxrwxrwt) . I then restarted samba
and when I connect to the printer on my XP machine it still asks me for the
driver. I read somewhere that you have to force samba to recognize drivers
installed this way and think this is what I have to do, but I can't figure
out how to do it. Any help would be most appreciated.
Here is my smb.conf
[global]
workgroup = MOYA
realm = MOYA.FARSCAPE.LOCAL
server string =
security = ADS
username map = /etc/samba/smbusers
log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
max log size = 50
preferred master = No
local master = No
domain master = No
dns proxy = No
wins server = #########
ldap ssl = no
cups options = raw
[homes]

read only = No
browseable = yes
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/samba
printable = Yes
browseable = no
printing = cups
public = yes
TIA,
