Hi! I wanted to share this little piece of information I discovered some days ago with you. As you probably know, when you share a printer on a NT machine (or win2k) it gives you the option to also share the printer drivers, so when you try to install the printer from another computer with the share, you will automatically get the drivers. Anyway, I was trying to install a printer in my network, which is connected to a unix station and to share it for the NT stations with samba. I had a lot of troubles with it, until I discovered the following trick: The printer drivers are shared on a special administrative share called "print$" (like C$, which shares the whole contents of C-drive), I created such a share, and TADA! when I accessed from a NT station to the UNIX server's samba shares (network neighborhood, with root permissions), I clicked properties on the printer, and created it a new driver. Now I was able to go to any NT station and just access the samba, choose install, and got the printer working automatically. -- Noam Meltzer [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ: 4853872 ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
