Xerox drivers do not play nice with samba (alot of users on this list can attest to this). Try different models until you find one that works. We have Xerox WorkCentre 7346's here and ended up using Xerox WorkCentre 7242 drivers instead. Of course, it still had issues after uploading. Fortunately, someone from this list found this nice tool: http://bit.ly/czNvub This fixed up our Xerox driver issues. Unfortunately, it requires a valid Cisco support agreement :( I'm not sure if there's an equivalent free tool out there available... -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
[Samba] Windows 7 64-bit drivers
Hello All, I'm having trouble with 64 bit Xerox drivers on my Samba server. The below quote if from another thread which I have followed but on the client Win 7 64 bit machine, I get an error: The specified location does not contain the driver for the Xerox WorkCentre 7675 rev2 PS for the requested processor architecture. Trying to add the driver from at 64 bit client first also fails with the same error. For sure the driver is x64, I can install the driver locally on the Win 7 64 client. I have HP 64 bit drivers installed, no problem ... any ideas? Thanks Greg We support 32bit and 64bit XP, Vista, and Windows7. We upload drivers from a windows client instead of using cupsaddsmb since we found this method solved alot of printing issues when we were using cupsaddsmb: http://samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/classicalprinting.html#id2627720 With this method there are a few options to support both 32 and 64bit clients, based on how point and print works. 1. Upload a driver from the Windows 32bit client's local driver store. When a 64bit client tries to connect, point and print does not find the appropriate driver on the samba server. Instead, it will attempt to find and install an appropriate driver with the correct filename from it's own local driver store or Windows Update. This is our preferred method since it's easier to manage. 2. For cases where drivers for a specific printer model is not available in a clients local driver store then we upload both 32bit and 64bit drivers to the samba queue. First we upload 32bit then go into the driver properties, into the 'Sharing' tab, and click on 'Additional Drivers' to install 64bit drivers from a 64bit client.
