I'm using Samba 3.0.0-2 on Redhat 8 as a print server. Everything seems to be working well except the Windows 4.0 Generic Text drivers. I've set up the W32X86 drivers and they work perfectly under XP/2000, but I cant seem to figure out the Win9x situation. I installed the Generic Driver and printed a test page under Win98 to get the list of files it uses, but unfortunatly they are not as detailed as the Windows 2000 Test Pages that tell you what each file does.
Here is what I have from the Win98 Test Page: ------------ Driver Name: TTY.DRV Driver Version: 4.0 Color Support: Np Port name: \\printsrv\test Data Format: RAW Files used by this driver: msprint.cat TTY.DRV TTY.HLP UNIDRV.DLL UNIDRV.HLP ICONLIB.DLL --------------- The 2000 Test Page looks more like this: ---------------- Printer model: Generic / Text Only Color support: No Port name(s): FILE: Data format: RAW Share name: Location: Comment: Driver name: UNIDRV.DLL Data file: TTY.GPD Config file: UNIDRVUI.DLL Help file: UNIDRV.HLP Driver version: 5.00 Environment: Windows NT x86 Additional files used by this driver: C:\WINNT\System32\spool\DRIVERS\W32X86\3\TTYRES.DLL (5.00.2134.1) C:\WINNT\System32\spool\DRIVERS\W32X86\3\TTY.INI C:\WINNT\System32\spool\DRIVERS\W32X86\3\TTY.DLL (5.00.2134.1) C:\WINNT\System32\spool\DRIVERS\W32X86\3\TTYUI.DLL (5.00.2134.1) C:\WINNT\System32\spool\DRIVERS\W32X86\3\TTYUI.HLP C:\WINNT\System32\spool\DRIVERS\W32X86\3\UNIRES.DLL (5.00.2149.1) C:\WINNT\System32\spool\DRIVERS\W32X86\3\STDNAMES.GPD ---------------- as you can see the Win2k Test page lays everything out for you so its easy to generate the right rpcclient statement. my rpcclient statement for the Win9x drivers looks something like this: rpcclient -U'root' -c'adddriver "Windows 4.0" test:TTY.DRV:TTY.DRV:UNIDRV.DLL:UNIDRV.HLP:NULL:RAW:MSPRINT.CAT,TTY.HLP,ICONLIB.DLL' localhost it installs fine on my samba server, even copys the files over on the Win98 box, but if you try to look at the printer properties or print it throws and error. If I try to mimic the Windows2000 driver setup which uses UNIDRV.DLL as its Device Driver, the Windows98 box refuses to install the driver saying that UNIDRV.DLL is not a vaild driver...(INF corruption ect...) I checked the msprint.inf file as well and it had no usefull information. Has anyone figured out the proper place for these five files in the adddriver statement? or am I missing one that the test page lied to me about? thanks -dustin -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
