Title: PrinterDriver location on sme8 ?
Post by: fpausp on April 21, 2014, 02:39:21 PM

I would like to install a networkprinter, the printer is already configured under the server-manager.

I can see the printer on the network but the driver could not be found during the installation on win7...

Where must I put the driver on sme filesystem ?

As far as I know the printer driver is configured on the client PC, in this case under Win 7, download the windows driver from the manufacturer and install on the win7 PC

Edit: or look HERE (http://wiki.contribs.org/Printer_Drivers_for_Windows_Workstations)

The win7 client should find the driver automaticly, where must I put it on sme filesystem ?

I tried this path but the driver can not be found, is there anything else I must do ?

A special version of printer-driver, maybe ther file-permission ?

You ask for help, the right tip was given to you by TerryF, see http://wiki.contribs.org/Printer_Drivers_for_Windows_Workstations

Follow this wiki page and report failure/sucess.
I've used it with sucess for WinXP ... never had tried on Win7... must be same.
