I went through all kinds of trouble to get HP win7 64 bit drivers to work through samba. I found that they would load using this method... https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6888 ...but this forces you have a identically named 32 bit driver loaded. In this case the driver was called Universal Print Driver and this caused our 32 bit drivers to be replaced with the 32bit version of Universal Print Driver which was terrible. We had so many printing problems that I had to finally erase the printer tdb's and start over. We are now going to skip samba for printing and print directly to the printers. It's just not worth the trouble. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba

Re: [Samba] windows 7 64 bit xerox print drivers
Hi, We have been able to get Xerox windows 7 64 bit drivers to work with samba. The printer models we are using are WC 7345, WCP C3545, WC 7435, WC7242, WC 7545, and WC 7665. Plus, various older models and some Phasers. The first group is the problem ones we've seen and took special steps. We use samba 3.4.9 on fc 12. The above printers work with xp, vista, and win7, 32 and 64 bits. We added the drivers using the Windows add printer wizard. There were some extra steps we took, however. 1. Add the Xerox printer in cups like normal. 2. On XP add the Xerox printer as a local printer. 3. Use apw to add the XP driver to the Xerox samba printer. 4. Use the Cisco print_fix program to copy the local registry settings for the Xerox printer to the remote Samba registry for the Xerox printer. 5. Set the samba printer properties in the usual way. 6. From a Win 7 64 bit platform add the Xerox 64 bit driver to the Xerox samba printer using APW. There is something different about the above group of Xerox printers and the registry entries they install. Samba does not seem to support these settings or operations, which is why the print_fix program is used and it is able to copy over the missing registry settings to samba. -Original Message- From: samba-boun...@lists.samba.org [mailto:samba-boun...@lists.samba.org] On Behalf Of Greg Saunders Sent: Monday, September 19, 2011 8:21 PM To: samba@lists.samba.org Subject: Re: [Samba] windows 7 64 bit xerox print drivers I would like to respond to my own question ... yes ... one year later :-) My answer to this problem is * don't use Samba * to solve this type of problem.
