Hi All.
Can anyone give me a hand here?
I'm trying to remove some printer drivers from my samba server running on
FreeBSD 4.6 using rpcclient.
'enumdrivers' shows:

rpcclient $> enumdrivers

[Windows 4.0]
Printer Driver Info 1:
Driver Name: [hp deskjet 930c series]

[Windows NT x86]
Printer Driver Info 1:
Driver Name: [HP DeskJet 930C Series]

Printer Driver Info 1:
Driver Name: [AGFA-AccuSet v52.3]

Printer Driver Info 1:
Driver Name: [hp deskjet 930c series]

rpcclient $>

But when i try to delete a driver it gives me an error:

rpcclient $> deldriver "AGFA-AccuSet v52.3"
Failed to remove driver AGFA-AccuSet v52.3 for arch [Windows 4.0] - error
0x705!
Failed to remove driver AGFA-AccuSet v52.3 for arch [Windows NT x86] -
error 0x705!
Failed to remove driver AGFA-AccuSet v52.3 for arch [Windows NT R4000] -
error 0x705!
Failed to remove driver AGFA-AccuSet v52.3 for arch [Windows NT Alpha_AXP]
- error 0x705!
Failed to remove driver AGFA-AccuSet v52.3 for arch [Windows NT PowerPC] -
error 0x705!
result was NT_STATUS_UNSUCCESSFUL
rpcclient $>

The driver file's have themselves been removed from the print$ share but i
want to remove them properly.

Also, where are the printer driver details stored? I read somewhere that it
was in printers.tbd but i can't find this file anywhere?

Thanks in advance,

Jon

Sorry to reply to my own message but i found the 'printers.tdb' (Well
actually /var/lock/ntdrivers.tdb and /var/lock/ntprinters.tdb) deleted it
and started again.
So, problem solved!

What version of Samba ? Should be working in 2.2.5 IIRC.

ntdrivers.tdb.

Try browsing to the samba server's Printers... folder
via the nethood and select server properties from the File menu.
See the "Drivers..." tab.
