Fog Printer Model not in ntprint.inf

[madhatter]

I have a HP LaserJet P2015 Series PCL 5e printer that I need to push to a lot of hosts. Everything seems to be running smoothly, except that the printer’s aren’t being pushed to the hosts.

The printer in question isn’t in c:\windows\inf\ntprint.inf and instead is located in c:\cab\HP LJP2015 PCL5

So I moved hppcp504.inf to the samba server thinking I could reference this in ntprint.inf’s place but the service isn’t pushing the printer.

I can ping the server, the firewalls are set up for file and printer sharing, and as far as I now FOG is configured properly. Any ideas?

[CODE]Printer Model: HP LaserJet P2015 Series PCL 5e
Printer Alias: Upper
Printer Port: IP_10.0.0.11
Print INF File: \10.0.0.250\Guest Share\HP LJP2015 PCL5\hppcp504.inf
Print IP (optional): 10.0.0.11[/CODE]

Is the share readable by everyone? I don’t think the FOG service, running as the local system account is going to be able to access the share any other way.

Thank you for the response. Yes, the share is readable by everyone on all computers.

I can go into the share and also see all the printers and add them one by one to all the computers, but that is very time consuming.

When I try to install a printer manually, though it gives me a [QUOTE]The server for the printer does not have the correct printer driver installed[/QUOTE] error.

I don’t know if this will help, but here are my config files.

For now cups allows anyone to do any changes. I need it like this for now and will lock it down later.

I also read that Model has to be the same as the INF file. I’m not entirely sure how to check that though.

Okay, I think I might know where the problem lies. When I try to run cupsaddsmb to add the printer drivers to the Samba I get a “[I]NT_STATUS_UNSUCCESSFUL” [/I]error. I’m not sure where to go from here though. [I][/I]
