Hi -- I am trying to set up cups to make it easy for windows users to
add cups printers. I'm ok so far except for one last piece: having
windows find the driver. When adding a new printer (windows 2000), I:
1. add a new network printer
2. put in the address http://cups:631/printers/myprinter
3. hit enter
at this point, windows says "Can't find driver" (well it's more
verbose, but that's the meaning). I previously downloaded the cups
windows driver to a temp directory on the windows box, so I can browse
to that location and load up the driver.
However, what I want to do is have windows find the driver
automatically at step 3. Can this be done? Where do I put the files
(and which ones) to make this happen?
NOTE: I am not running Samba. This is to be a pure cups server.
