This is the most complicated thing to do. Get the files - 'msprint.inf' and 'msprint2.inf' from Windows 95, the easiest way is to - grab them from a working Windows 95 computer. They are usually located - in 'c:\windows\inf'. Look in them for the printer you have. Run the new - program 'mkprinterdef' with the file name and the printer name as - parameters. - Example: - - mkprinterdef msprint.def "Apple LaserWriter" >>/usr/local/samba/lib/printers.def - - Copy also all the files into the directory you created in step 1 - - Third, you need to add 2 new parameters in smb.conf. One is in the - [global] section, called 'printer driver file' pointing to the file description, - and the other in each printer share, called 'printer driver location' pointing - to where the client will get the drivers. Don't forget to set correctly - the printer driver parameter to the Windows printer name. - Example: - - [global] - printer driver file=/usr/local/samba/lib/printers.def - - [lp] - comment = My old printer laser - browseable = yes - printable = yes - public = yes - writable = no - create mode = 0700 - printer driver=Apple LaserWriter - printer driver location=\\JOKER\PRINTER$ - - JOKER is in my case my computer name, and PRINTER$ is the name of the - share created in step one. - - -If it doesn't work for you, don't send flame ! It worked for me. In case of -trouble don't hesitate to send me a mail with your smb.conf file and -printers.def - |
