   CUPS/Samba setup. Trouble installing win   
   24 Aug 07 20:09:28   
   
   From: stig.mogensen@gmail.com   
      
   I'm trying to allow a W2K client to print on my Gentoo file server's   
   printer. In order for w2k to print, I need to install windowsdrivers on   
   CUPs, like so   
      
   emerge cups-windows   
      
   But when running cupsaddsmb, I get an error   
      
   tux stig # cupsaddsmb -H localhost -U root -h localhost -v -a   
   cupsaddsmb: No PPD file for printer "HP-OfficeJet5610" - Not Found   
      
   In smb.conf and samba.conf there are no references to "HP-OfficeJet5610" ?   
      
   I set out the samba details below. Any comments??.
