Topic: Printer drivers

[rickjones]

I can't get the UseClientDriver=no setting to work for uploading printer drivers.

It's strange because I've had this working in SME 6.0 (which is still my live server) by modifying the smb.conf template. The built-in option in 7.0 makes exactly the same changes to smb.conf, but the drivers don't actually copy to the server.

I can open Properties of the printer in SME's Printers folder, it asks for a driver so I pick the driver, and it goes through all the motions of copying the files - progress bar etc. - but no files have actually been copied. Opening Properties again asks for the driver again, and looking in the printer-driver directory there are no files.

I'm connecting to the server as admin, and in fact if I open the \\smeserver\printer$ share I can copy files in directly so permisions seem to be OK. I'm doing this from the same Windows machine that I used to install the drivers on the 6.0 machine.

smb.conf appears to be correct, and I've restarted smb (many times!) but it just won't work  

Any ideas?

I have a similar problem... but drivers got uploaded on server (I can see them there even they do not show when using Windows interface).

I think this is a bug. Maybe we should report it.

Does this bug help you?

Looks like that bug is fixed in my version of 7.0. In smb.conf, both entries are "no".

Must be something else
