Hi!
The path to your drivers is not relevant.
When you connect from windows to your samba server, you are mapped
(somehow) to a *nix user on the samba server.
This user needs access rights on the driver directory. That's the
important thing. You can check this basic settings by typing on your
windows machine: run -> \\<ip of your samba server>\print$
Look, if you have access to the share. If you want to install drivers,
you need write access to the share, too.
Regarding the Xerox printer:
The printer driver is missing the following threee entries in the
printers registry:
[PrinterDriverData\PDMap-WorkCentre 7328]
RATEDSPEED=28;AUTO=GPIN\GPIN.auto;PDL=GPIN\GPIN.pdl;MARG=GPIN\GPIN.margins;XCAP=GPIN\GPIN.xcp;PMM=GPIN\GPIN.pmm;FAMPATH=GPIN;CONTROLLERFAMILY=G;COMPANYNAME=XC;PLATFORMVERSION=5.0;PRINTERLANG=
PSCRIPT,PCL5,PCL6;COLORCAPABLE=Color;
[PrinterDriverData\xModelId]
WorkCentre 7328
[PrinterDriverData\xProdUID]
GPIN
With these registry entries the error message goes away. If the driver
works, I can't test.
BTW: As far as I do understand it, you really want to do RAW printing.
This means, that the job leaves the client computer completely rendered.
This is what you can do with samba.
Bye,
Martin
