Title: SME printers - point and print?
Post by: ksc133 on May 28, 2006, 05:08:29 AM

hi folks,

anyone knows how to configure SME printers for point & print just like windows NT server.

meaning the client PC will not need to install any drivers?

thanks

Client workstations will always have to install a driver; what you're wanting to do is have it always install automatically, from driver files stored on the server if it's not a printer already known to Windows.  SME 7 can be made to do this but apparently it isn't easy for now.  A search of the forums for the following terms:

samba printer drivers store

came up with some interesting threads but it's nothing I'd especially want to fiddle with.
