A while ago I looked into this and was told not to bother as it was a hack at best. Anyone shed any reliable info on creating a print server for windows nt -> vista clients both x86 and x46 for a few Canon and HP IP Printers.
Would this be reliable, are there any caveats or issues to be aware of?
Thanks! jlc
It just needs a working cups and samba install to get it working. I run several linux print servers for windows clients, including driver installs.
The only real problem I had was right before service pack 3 came out for XP. Some security update broke ALL my HP print drivers on the XP boxes. I fought with it for 3 weeks, and had to create cups print driver based packages for all the HP printers until SP3 magically fixed it. I never found out what caused it.
