I have added two printers, a DeskJet 6127 and a LaserJet 4p.
For some reason, following Kurt`s excelent instructions I can install the drivers for the LaserJet, but the DeskJet appears to add the driver, but on a XP client, you can add the print queue, but as soon as you select printer properties it runs the local add printer wizzard and asks for a driver!
I believe this is an inherent problem with the way that XP uses the SMB to relay print queue information. I think this is an FAQ, if not even a bug report. Check the main samba.org website.
Thomas, this is correct, and dependent on the driver in use causes random crashes etc. This is why I am trying to use the CUPS driver in preference to anything else.
If I change the cups printer type for the Deskjet 6127 queue I can make the download work.
Hmm, interesting.
It`s got to be something ppd related (my guess anyway) but I don`t know how to solve it.
The laserjet is using foomatic+ljet4 The Deskjet is using foomatic+hpijs
