HP CIFS Server Administrator Guide Version A.03.01.03 (5900-2006, October 2011)

1. SWAT (Samba Administration Tool)
-or-
2. Create a [printers] share in the /etc/opt/samba/smb.conf file. Refer to the following example:
[hpdeskjet]
path = /tmp
printable = yes
Where "hpdeskjet" is the name of the printer to be added.
Creating a [printers] share
Configure a [printers] share in the /etc/opt/samba/smb.conf file. Refer to the following example:
[printers]
path = /tmp
printable = yes
browseable = no
This share is required if you want the printer's list to be displayed in SWAT, which is not defined
in the smb.conf file, but exists on the HP CIFS Server. If this share is not defined, the printer's list
will display only those printer shares which are defined in the smb.conf file.
Setup Server for automatically uploading printer driver files
In order to add a new driver to your Samba host using version A.03.01.02 of the software, one
of two conditions must hold true:
1. The account used to connect to the Samba host must have a uid of 0 (i.e. a root account),
or...
2. The account used to connect to the Samba host must be a member of the printer admin list.
This will require a [global] smb.conf parameter as follows:
printer admin = netadmin
The connected account must still possess access to add files to the subdirectories beneath [print$].
Keep in mind that all files are set to 'read only' by default, and that the printer admin parameter
must also contain the names of all users or groups that are going to be allowed to upload drivers
to the server, not just 'netadmin'.
The following is an example of the other parameters required:
1. Create a [print$] share in the smb.conf file that points to an empty directory named
"/etc/opt/samba/printers" on the HP CIFS Server. Refer to the following example:
[print$]
path = /etc/opt/samba/printers
browseable = yes
guest ok = yes
read only = yes
write list = netadmin
In this example, the parameter "write list" specifies that administrative lever user accounts will
have write access for updating files, on the share.
2. Create the subdirectory tree, under the [print$] share, for each architecture that needs to be
supported. Refer to the following example:
cd /etc/opt/samba/printers
mkdir W32X86
mkdir Win40
