Hi, I am having problems setting up windows XP Pro to print to SAMBA Print Server. I have an HP PSC 2210, using the HPLIP CUPS driver. I am printing fine from the FreeBSD box that it is attached to. I can browse to the printer however, once I connect to it, it says that the correct driver is not provided. I downloaded the Windows Driver for the printer (rw2_021_w02_enu.exe), and printed fine from the XP box so I know that the driver is there and works. When prompted for path of driver, I browse and select the executlable (rw2_021_w02_enu.exe) however, it onlys wants the .inf file. I dont know that .inf file that XP wants. Can someone help me out on this. Thanks in advance. v/r Derrick snip smb.conf # Global parameters [global] netbios name = WORKHORSE server string = focus security = share log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m max log size = 50 dns proxy = no ldap ssl = No #guest account = clamav restrict anonymous = no domain master = no preferred master = no max protocol = NT server signing = Auto guest account = cyrus printcap name = cups disable spoolss = yes show add printer wizard = no acl compatibility = winnt [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba printable = Yes use client driver = yes guest account = printer name = HP_PSC_2200_Series_USB_MY2BLF50W60G_HPLIP guest ok = yes
