printer driver not available on samba

[husniteja]

dear all

I tried to use samba to connect my linux server. I use winXP as my client. I can share my file for the windows but while tried to add printer, my windows ask driver. and after that it said there is no driver on your server. Any one know how to solve that ?

my smb.conf :

# Global Parameters

workgroup = WORKGROUP
netbios name = Samba
encrypt passwords = yes

[homes]
read only = no
browseable = no

[music]
path = /data/mp3
browseable = yes
write list = mw, Jackie

[everyone]
path = /data/everyone
read only = no
browseable = yes

[apps]
path = /data/apps
browseable = yes
valid users = @admins, root
write list = @admins, root

# if you want to automatically load your printer list rather
# than setting them up individually then you'll need this
printcap name = /etc/printcap
load printers = yes
#NOTE: If you have a BSD-style print system there is no need to
# specifically define each individual printer
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/samba
browseable = no
# Set public = yes to allow user 'guest account' to print
guest ok = yes
writable = no
printable = yes

I can't help you this way, but I was able to get my XP machine to work perfectly with an HP printer attached to a Fedora box using Samba configured with Webmin. It's a really helpful utility for configuring Linux print servers and a lot of other things too.

hi dan

i solved that problem, still using that configuration. I just use the driver printer that list available from windows. However, quite supprise because i use different type of printer on windows to access printer on linux.
