===========================================================================

||||
Disclaimer:
|
||||
|
||||
This ONLY works with Windows 95
|
||||
It does NOT work with Windows NT 4
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Goal:
|
||||
|
||||
When you click on a samba shared printer, you can now install the driver
|
||||
automatically onto the Windows 95 machine, as you would from an NT server.
|
||||
|
||||
How To:
|
||||
|
||||
It's a three step config.
|
||||
|
||||
First, create a new directory, where you will put the driver files, and
|
||||
make a share in smb.conf pointing to it.
|
||||
|
||||
Example:
|
||||
|
||||
[printer$]
|
||||
path=/usr/local/samba/printer
|
||||
public=yes
|
||||
writable=no
|
||||
browseable=yes
|
||||
|
||||
Second, you have to build the list of drivers required for a specific
|
||||
printer. This is the most complicated thing to do. Get the files
|
||||
'msprint.inf' and 'msprint2.inf' from Windows 95, the easiest way is to
|
||||
grab them from a working Windows 95 computer. They are usually located
|
||||
in 'c:\windows\inf'. Look in them for the printer you have. Run the new
|
||||
program 'make_printerdef' with the file name and the printer name as
|
||||
parameters. If you have drivers for an unsupported or updated printer,
|
||||
first install these drivers on an Windows 95 system. There will be a
|
||||
file created in your inf directory named 'oem?.inf' (where the ? is some
|
||||
number). Use this file instead of msprint.inf.
|
||||
|
||||
Example: (from the /usr/local/samba/lib directory)
|
||||
|
||||
make_printerdef msprint.inf "Apple LaserWriter" >> printers.def
|
||||
|
||||
The program will print out a list of required files to stderr.
|
||||
Copy all the files listed into the directory you created in step 1.
|
||||
If you have "preserve case = yes" make sure your files names match
|
||||
EXACTLY the names listed.
|
||||
|
||||
Third, you need to add 2 new parameters in smb.conf. One is in the
|
||||
[global] section, called 'printer driver file' pointing to the printer
|
||||
description file you just created, and the other in each printer share,
|
||||
called 'printer driver location' pointing to where the client will get
|
||||
the drivers. Don't forget to set correctly the printer driver parameter
|
||||
to the Windows printer name.
|
||||
|
||||
Example:
|
||||
|
||||
[global]
|
||||
printer driver file=/usr/local/samba/lib/printers.def
|
||||
|
||||
[lp]
|
||||
comment = My old printer laser
|
||||
browseable = yes
|
||||
printable = yes
|
||||
public = yes
|
||||
writable = no
|
||||
create mode = 0700
|
||||
printer driver=Apple LaserWriter
|
||||
printer driver location=\\%h\PRINTER$
|
||||
|
||||
%h will expand to the computer name, and PRINTER$ is the name of the
|
||||
share created in step one.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
If it doesn't work for you, don't send flame ! It worked for me. In case of
|
||||
trouble don't hesitate to send me a mail with your smb.conf file and
|
||||
printers.def
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
******* added by herb@sgi.com
|
||||
|
||||
For those of you who like to know the details, and in case I have guessed
|
||||
wrong on some of the fields - The following is the format of the entries
|
||||
in the printers.def file: (entries are 1 single line - they are split here
|
||||
for readability)
|
||||
|
||||
<Long Printer Name>:<Driver File Name>:<Data File Name>:<Help File Name>:
|
||||
<Language Monitor Name>:<Default Data Type>:<Comma Separated list of Files>
|
||||
|
||||
The <Help File Name> and the <Language Monitor Name> can be empty.
|
||||
If no <Driver File Name> or <Data File Name> are specified in the inf file,
|
||||
these will default to the section name for the printer.
|
||||
|
||||
The following is an excerpt from the MSPRINT2.INF file on a WIN95 machine.
|
||||
I have deleted all but the entries relating to installing a driver for the
|
||||
"QMS ColorScript 100 Model 30" printer. Using this "file" I'll try to
|
||||
explain how the printers.def file is created.
|
||||
|
||||
make_printerdef is run with the first argument being the name of this
|
||||
file (MSPRINT2.INF in this case) and the second argument being the
|
||||
name of the printer ("QMS ColorScript 100 Model 30" in this case).
|
||||
|
||||
The printer name is first found in the "Model section" to obtain the
|
||||
name of the "Installer Section" (this is the name after the equal sign).
|
||||
We ignore the alternate name.
|
||||
|
||||
The "Installer Section" contains entries for "CopyFiles" and "DataSection".
|
||||
The "CopyFiles" line gives a list of all the required files for this
|
||||
printer. If the name begins with an @ it is the name of a file (after
|
||||
you strip off the @), otherwise it is the name of a "Copy Section" which
|
||||
in turn is a list of files required. This printer has one file listed
|
||||
"QCS30503.SPD" and two sections "COLOR_QMS_100_30" and "PSCRIPT". The
|
||||
"COLOR_QMS_100_30" section is listed in the "[DestinationDirs]" as
|
||||
having a value of 23. This means that all files listed in this section
|
||||
should go into the "color" subdirectory. The list of files to copy for
|
||||
this printer is thus:
|
||||
|
||||
QCS30503.SPD,color\QMS10030.ICM,PSCRIPT.DRV,PSCRIPT.HLP,PSCRIPT.INI,
|
||||
TESTPS.TXT,APPLE380.SPD,FONTS.MFM,ICONLIB.DLL,PSMON.DLL
|
||||
|
||||
From the "Data Section" we obtain values for "DriverFile", "HelpFile",
|
||||
and "LanguageMonitor". The % around the value for "LanguageMonitor"
|
||||
indicates that it is a string that can be localized so its actual value
|
||||
is obtained from the "[Strings]" section. The "Data Section" could also
|
||||
have contained an entry for "DefaultDataType".
|
||||
|
||||
Using the information we have obtained we can now construct the entry
|
||||
for the printers.def file.
|
||||
|
||||
<Long Printer Name> -> QMS ColorScript 100 Model 30 (name given
|
||||
on the command line)
|
||||
<Driver File Name> -> PSCRIPT.DRV (given in Data Section)
|
||||
<Data File Name> -> QCS30503.SPD (defaults to Install Section name)
|
||||
<Help File Name> -> PSCRIPT.HLP (given in Data Section)
|
||||
<Language Monitor Name> -> PostScript Language Monitor (given in Data Section)
|
||||
<Default Data Type> -> RAW (default if not specified)
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
So.... the enty (actually one line but split here for readability) would
|
||||
be:
|
||||
|
||||
QMS ColorScript 100 Model 30:PSCRIPT.DRV:QCS30503.SPD:
|
||||
PSCRIPT.HLP:PostScript Language Monitor:RAW:
|
||||
QCS30503.SPD,color\QMS10030.ICM,PSCRIPT.DRV,PSCRIPT.HLP,PSCRIPT.INI,
|
||||
TESTPS.TXT,APPLE380.SPD,FONTS.MFM,ICONLIB.DLL,PSMON.DLL
