[CentOS] problem with CUPS

I have made a CUPS print server and unable to load printer driver nor able
to install the printer on the windows machine.  The error I am getting is as
below: -

"Windows can not locate suitable printer driver. Contact your
administratorxxxxx" 

 

I can print test page from the cups panel and the printer works fine. 

 

I tried to upload the driver through windows machine by right clicking the
properties saying no and clicking advance property tab, the new driver tab
is not highlighted.



 

Is it anything related to permission problem? I am using Centos 4.3 + samba
3.0.22.  Please find below my SMB.conf file and would really appreciate if
some one could tell me where I am going wrong!

 

Thanks

 

Rajeev
