Hello, I'm trying to set up a CentOS 4.4 print server. I've attached a Usb Hp Deskjet 5150 printer to the box, and printed a test page. This worked fine, using cups. I then went to the samba howto, classical printer section, and followed the section for uploading pointprint drivers to the box. My first problem came when i told the error dialog no, then didn't see a new driver button in the resulting dialog either on the general tab or sharing tab. I next tried again, this time i said yes to the driver installation, went through, had the apw find the drivers, on my CD, and it uploaded them no errors or so i thought. The process completed without errors, the rom and the hard disk moved, yet checking the samba box in the print$ share nothing has been added and i have global permissions set for this operation. I am doing this as a member of the printeradmins group and in smb.conf i did set:
use client driver = no default devmode = yes
for i have had an issue with a previous deskjet uploading drivers, that one actually gave me an error, and adding default devmode fixed it. My samba version is 3.0.10 if that helps. Any suggestions welcome. Thanks. Dave.
