CUPS Printer Driver for Windows v6.0 -- Did I screw something up?

Sun Oct 1 22:44:41 PDT 2006

Hello all,

I have up to this point been able to get the printers for my Mac OS X 10.4.8 Server to show and share the printers for Windows XP computers. Though, when I double click I get the fun message of having the drivers be unavailable. So, I turned to here and learned that I would need to use have the computer use the CUPS Print Drivers for them to have the print queue tell them to job-hold-until feature.

I did as anyone would do and downloaded the v6.0 driver and extracted them on a Windows XP box. I also installed the Microsoft Windows Driver Developent Kit which is the latest Windows 2k3 SP1 version. Once I had it downloaded, I proceeded to install it and followed the install.html file found after you initally setup the program. I thus performed the Windows 2k3 checked enviroment steps in that HTML. Once that was completed, I proceed to perform the seemingly vague steps found in the Windows v6.0 drivers download README file.

I extracted the files to my C: which thus made, what I assume would be, the source directory. Thus, following the README instructions, I went into the Windows 2k3 Free Build Enviroment. I changed the directory to the Windows Driver directory which was C:\cups-windows-6.0 and performed the command "build /c". When this completed, I was left with the following which I found posted in the LOG file

So, is this thing setup correctly, as the command prompt also mention it had a total of 5 errors? If I messed up somewhere, then please give me some very detail instructions. Any and all help would be most appreciated.

Also, what do I do following this? Am I suppose to proceed with using the cupsaddsmb command on the Mac Server? I would assume this would be after I copy the files created on the Win XP box to Mac Server. When I get all done I will make a detailed instruction list for myself and may post a copy here to assist anyone else. Thanks for your time.

Sincerely,
