Samba 3.0.14a-3 and Cupsys 1.1.23-10 work fine on our sarge servers serving Windows (XP, 2000 and 98), Mac and Linux clients. I don't believe you will gain much from using the etch versions unless there is specific functionality you're after that isn't available in sarge. I haven't yet cracked centralised authentication and so the setups we have are simpler in many respects. Nonetheless it is worth referring to http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-mini/Debian-and-Windows-Shared-Printing.html if you haven't already. > > When I try to prepare the printerdrivers for the windows clients with > cupsaddsmb "nothing" happens: no error message, "Printer added successfully" > but not drivers copied to print$ share, no updates from ntprinters.tdb, > nothing. > > I just put a post here about 10 days ago, but nobody ansered, the same on > samba and cups list. At the risk of asking a dumb question, have you set up the windows driver sharing within smb.conf? Also can you print from windows printer setting it up with a driver sourced from somewhere other than the server?
