Hello,
I want Install printer drivers for my XP and Win9x Clients on my Samba
Server.
I connected as root from my XP box to my Samba server and tried to upload XP
and WIN9X printer drivers via the Add Printer Wizard to my samba server.
Only the XP driver files are copied to the Samba server, but I can't update
the XP-Drivers with newer Versions after I have copied the files via the Add
Printer Wizard to the Samba server.
The Windows 9x drivers will not be copied to the WIN40 directory of my
print$ share on the Samba Server.
XP doesn't display any error messages. Only in the samba logfile of the XP
box has the following error message:
[2003/11/10 17:36:18, 0] smbd/service.c:make_connection(850) XP01
(192.168.242.2) couldn't find service
::{2227a280-3aea-1069-a2de-08002b30309d}
I have created the following directories for driver upload in
/etc/samba/drivers:
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 9. Nov 19:47 W32ALPHA
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 9. Nov 19:48 W32MIPS
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 9. Nov 19:48 W32PPC
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 10. Nov 17:33 W32X86
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 9. Nov 19:47 WIN40
and here is my smb.conf:

workgroup = FRANKIESDOMAIN
server string = Frankies Samba Server

log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
max log size = 50
