This part is relatively easy. Create a share called
[PRINTER$] in your
smb.conf that points to an empty directory on the Samba server. Once that is done, copy over the files that the
make_ printerdef script requested of you into the location of the
path configuration option for the
[PRINTER$] share. For example, you can put the following in your configuration file:
[PRINTER$]
path = /usr/local/samba/print
read only = yes
browsable = no
guest ok = yes
The files requested by the
make_ printerdef script are typically located in the
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory, although you can use the following commands to find out exactly where they are:
cd C:\WINDOWS
dir
filename /s
In this case, each of the files needs to be copied to the
/usr/local/samba/print directory on the Samba server. In addition, copy the
printers.def file that you created over to that share as well. Once you've done that, you're almost ready to go.
