[Samba] HP Deskjet 6940 and 6988

[Glenn Arnold]

I have had no problems with HP Laser printers or Lexmark Laser printers
with the point-n-print on Samba.  The only time I have had problems has
been HP Deskjet or Business jet printers and Canon copiers detecting the
features of the copier.  On the Canon Copier I have worked out most of
the problems with manual setting the options of the copier on the
servers.

This certainly isn't the case here. We have about a dozen Lexmark 
printers, about half a dozen HP LJ2430s and LJ4250s and one Konica 
copier. All of them work fine, I can access all tabs on the driver 
settings (the HP ones are a little slow to come up but they do work). 
Are you using point-n-print or are you loading drivers onto each
machine?
