Problem configuring SAMBA for print server ** 2nd try **

[Boris shtrasman]

did you remember to run setdriver after adddriver ?
after uploading the drivers into /spooler/drivers (by adddriver or
just cp into the correct subdir).
did you run setdriver command to make sure that there is a connectio
between each driver to a printer ?

here is a step by step guide -

(ignore the cups name install the printer using your settings)
