Print Sharing "Additional Drivers"
« on: May 18, 2004, 05:30:14 PM »
I've looked in 61printerdriversshare and it says the path is /home/e-smith/files/samba/printers and when I look in there I see the sub-directories for the different operating systems, and then I can see all the printers files. The problem is, when I click "Addition Drivers" from a windows machine, looking at the printers on the esmith server, is shows all printers and under "installed" it says no. When I try and install one, the files get copied over and it seems to work, but it always says "No", and it doesn't auto install the printer drivers from other machines. Can anybody help with this? Thanks.

Also, if a printer is being shared at a different, windows computer, how do you put it in esmith?
For example it's shared on a computer called \\printserver and the ip is 192.168.1.12?
And the printer is shared as HP2F?

I've tried everything, and there aren't many options. Thanks.
