[Samba] FW: Unable to upload printer drivers

[L.P.H. van Belle]

Hai Manu, 

Ok, so even the driver link in the email did not work on win 10 x64? 
The one which did work for me? 
I can delete that hp up 6.5 driver and re-install it again and again. 

Send my regard to your students ;-) 

Greetz, 

Louis
