I didn't add any other printer driver from W2K CD or from any 3rd party vendor. I first created pdfprinter.ppd by lpadmin -p pdfprinter -E -v pdf:/var/tmp -m adist5.pdf then exported pdfprinter.ppd so Windows clients can download cupsaddsmb -v pdfprinter Now NT/2000 can download the drivers no problem. But 9x/ME complains that they can't find pdfprinter.PPD. I think there's some subtle bugs in linking the drivers for download, but I don't know where.

But in 9x/ME, it complains that pdfprinter.PPD not found. I checked WINNT40\0\, pdfprinter.PPD is in there. I even made duplicates like PDFPRINTER.PPD and pdfprinter.ppd, copied the file to a local disk, but 9x/ME still cannot find it. Could this be a bug somewhere? I don't know why I'm seeing all these strange cases 8( -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
