Creating the [print$] Share
In order to support the uploading and downloading of printer driver files, you must first configure a
file share named
[print$]
. The public name of this share is hard coded
in the MS Windows clients. It cannot be renamed, since Windows clients are programmed to search for a
service of exactly this name if they want to retrieve printer driver files.
You should modify the server's file to add the global parameters and create the
[print$]
file share (of course, some of the parameter values, such
as
path, are arbitrary and should be replaced with appropriate values for your
site). See
[print\$] Example.

[global]
|
| # members of the ntadmin group should be able to add drivers and set |
| # printer properties. root is implicitly always a 'printer admin'. |
printer admin = @ntadmin
|
| # ... |
| |
[printers]
|
| # ... |

[print$]
|
comment = Printer Driver Download Area
|
path = /etc/samba/drivers
|
browseable = yes
|
guest ok = yes
|
read only = yes
|
write list = @ntadmin, root
|
Of course, you also need to ensure that the directory named by the
path parameter exists on the UNIX file system.
