Hi

I've been trying to define and configure a HP Laser Jet 4250 network printer on AIX 5.2 system with a downloaded driver(PPD file) using CUPS.

I've managed to check that samba and cups are installed and running and
I define the printer with the following command:
asroot /usr/sbin/lpadmin -p printername -v smb://'corpdom\userid':password at servername/printer -P ppddriverfileandpath –E

The printer gets define but when I do a getstat -p I can see that the printer gets disabled and shows the message:

Filter "foomatic-rip" for printer "laser" not available: A file or direc
tory in the path name does not exist

I also see another error:
Unable to connect to SAMBA host, will retry in 60 seconds...ERROR: SMB t
ree connect failed: NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED

Could anyone help me to overcome this issue?

Thanks
