Re: [Samba] installing printer in a logon script
Hi, But it seems to me that Windows is simply ignoring /if /f flags, because it doesn't print any error (even with no /q) when I put some nonsense instead of the location of the ini file. Well here we just have : rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /in /n \\server\printer in a script called from the login script. It seems to work fine for us except for the nice feature in XP SP1 that disables users from installing printers - we haven't got round to pushing out a registry hack to fix that yet, but before SP1 went on it worked. Hi, would you mind posting the .reg file? Tarjei As for adding print drivers to the server, we use cupsaddsmb (as per the Samba howtos). So, we add a printer to cups, select the right PPD and put it in /etc/cups/ppd, then run cupsaddsmb to install the drivers. Add the rundll ... line to the login scripts, and next time a user logs in they get the printer installed (subject to the point and print policy in place). This is with samba 2.2.8a-224 and cups 1.1.15-170 (current versions for Suse Linux Openexchange server).

Then I can choose OK, which means that drivers will be installed from the local machine. So when I choose OK, win2k uses local drivers and from now on I can print from that win2k. Is it possible to get rid of that question, so that printer installation would be automatic? Either by using default win2k drivers, or these which are on Samba server. Make a [print$] share on your server and store all printer drivers there. OK, so I did that share, put drivers to /var/lib/samba/drivers/W32X86, put them to /var/lib/samba/drivers/W32X86/HP2000C too, but despite of it, effect is still the same - win2k claims that there is no driver. Any more steps I should do? Tomek -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
