I'm trying to set up a samba server to share a HP Deskjet 5550 printer on my network. I'm using cups, and can print to the printer over the network. The problem comes when I try to set up the autoloading of the driver. At this point I need some points clarified. Should the cups drivers to into /usr/share/cups/drivers or /usr/local/share/cups/drivers? What am I doing wrong? I have followed a how-to (I'll post up the link in a minute) and gotten a ppd file for my printer from linuxprinting.org (HP-Deskjet_5550-hpijs.ppd), and have copied necessary files from the windows postscript driver to the /usr/local/cups/driver folder and converted the names to lowercase. I then tried to run cupsaddsmb -H localhost -U root -h localhost -a -v, and it went into an endless loop because when it tried to set the driver for the cups printer, it got an access denied error. I have tried to set the admin area to have no authentication, but still no luck. I'll go dig up the loop...
