[Samba] the print processor does not exist

[Thiago Parolin]

Hi all,

When i try to install one printer shared by a samba server (3.6.6) in a
Windows 7 (x64 home premium and professional) clients, i get "The print
processor does not exist" and i can not install nothing.
All printers are mapped through .bat file, using "net use" command,
specifying user/password.
I always install like this: in run window (win+R), type the samba server ip
(\\192.168.1.2) and hit enter, a new windows open prompting user/password.
After, double click on printer to connect.
On machines that printer was already installed, the print continues normal.
Maybe this is not a samba issue.
Are there some things to be done in samba side?
I tryed put in smb.conf "use client driver = Yes" but nothing was changed.
Can anyone help me?

sorry about my english.

Hello Thiago,

Also had this issue once. On and Windows 7 Workstation walk to the
remote printers folder on your server, open the properties of the
affected printer, cancle printer driver request whom migth appear. Go to
the "Extended settings" Tab, and open the "Print processor" Dialog,
select winprint/raw even if it was already selected. Afterwards the
share should work.
