> I have a question about printer drivers management in Samba4 (Samba version
> 4.7.6, Ubuntu 18)

First, verify that drivers loading work, with another standard printer,
eg, Apple Color LaserJet for examples.


Secondly... driver loading is very 'picky'. Try to:

a) load the driver 2-5 time subsequently, sometime work

b) if the driver have some '.cab' file (mostly: multilingual) try to
 unpack (a|your language) .cab and retry.

c) try different driver (eg: PostScript instead of PCL)

d) load the driver in a windows box, then 'copy' them via RPC:

Some drivers are simply 'broken'. There's no way to make it work. ;-(
