Hi,
I'm having a problem getting one of my printers to distribute drivers automatically to windows machines that connect to the network.
I hav configured my print server box using this guide:

I have got to the point where windows machines are detecting the printer, but having to manually install the drivers for the device. I have downloaded all the driver files stated in the above document, placed them in the '/usr/share/cups/drivers' area, changed all file names and annotated the config files with the relevant parameters. I have also changed the driver filenames to lower case but whne I tried to run the following command:
cuppsaddsmb -H localhost -U root -a -v
This command runs but produces an error at the end:
cuppsaddsmb: No PPD file for printer "printername" - no printer-uri found
I'm not sure where I have gone wrong with this. I'm quite new to using Linux, but would very much appreciate any assistance or suggestions on my predicament.
Many thanks,
flash
