HP CIFS Server Administrator's Guide Version A.03.01.04 (5900-2303), April 2012

read only = yes
write list = netadmin
In this example, the parameter "write list" specifies that administrative lever user accounts will
have write access for updating files, on the share.
2. Create the subdirectory tree, under the [print$] share, for each architecture that needs to be
supported. Refer to the following example:
cd /etc/opt/samba/printers
mkdir W32X86
mkdir Win40
There are two possible locations (subdirectories) for keeping driver files, depending upon
what version of Windows the files are for:
For Windows NT, XP, Windows 2000, Vista, or Windows 7 driver files, the files will be stored
in the /etc/opt/samba/printers/W32X86 subdirectory.
For Windows 9x driver files, the files will be stored in the /etc/opt/samba/printers/Win40/0
subdirectory.
Setup Client for automatically uploading of printer drivers
Printer driver files can be automatically uploaded from disk to the printers on a HP CIFS Server.
Here are the steps:
1. Connect to CIFS Server by running the \\[server name] command or browse to CIFS
Server through Network Neighborhood.Make sure you are connected as a member of
the printer admin list.
2. From the CIFS Server, double click on the "Printers" or "Printers and Faxes" folder. A list of
printers available from your CIFS Server will be shown in the folder. Viewing the printer
properties will result in the error message:
The printer driver is not installed on this computer. Some printer
properties will not be accessible unless you install the printer
driver. Do you want to install the driver now?
3. Click "no" in the error dialog and the printer properties window will be displayed.
4. Click on the 'Advanced' tab, then the 'New Driver..." button.
5. Select the printer driver e.g. hp LaserJet 5i. You will be asked for the driver files. Give the
path where the driver files are located. The driver files will be uploaded from the disk, and
stored into the subdirectories under the [print$] share.
Publishing printers in an MS Windows 2000/2003/2008 ADS domain
Publishing printers makes HP CIFS Server printers searchable in an Microsoft Windows 2000/2003
ADS domain. If a Windows client is a domain member of the ADS domain, that client can search
for the printer and install it.
