Step 3: Modify the Conﬁguration

Chapter 2 33

In this example, the parameter “write list” speciﬁes that

administrative lever user accounts will have write access for

updating ﬁles, on the share.

2. Create the subdirectory tree, under the [print$] share, for each

architecture that needs to be supported. Refer to the following

example:

cd /etc/opt/samba/printers

mkdir W32X86

mkdir Win40

There are two possible locations (subdirectories) for keeping driver

ﬁles, depending upon what version of Windows the ﬁles are for:

For Windows NT, XP or Windows 2000 driver ﬁles, the ﬁles will

be stored in the /etc/opt/samba/printers/W32X86 subdirectory.

For Windows 9x driver ﬁles, the ﬁles will be stored in the

/etc/opt/samba/printers/Win40/0 subdirectory.

Setup Client for automatically uploading of printer drivers

Printer driver ﬁles can be automatically uploaded from disk to the

printers on a HP CIFS Server. Here are the steps:

1. Connect to CIFS Server by running the \\[server name] command

or browse to CIFS Server through Network Neighborhood.Make

sure you are connected as a member of the printer admin list.

2. From the CIFS Server, double click on the "Printers" or "Printers and

Faxes" folder. A list of printers available from your CIFS Server will

be shown in the folder. Viewing the printer properties will result in

the error message:

Device settings can not be displayed. The driver for the

specified printer is not installed, only spooler

properties will be displayed. Do you want to install the

driver now?

3. Click “no” in the error dialog and the printer properties window will

be displayed.

4. Click on the ’Advanced’ tab, then the ’New Driver..." button.
