This problem is described and partially solved on the official manual page: https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Configuring_Point%27n%27Print_automatic_printer_driver_deployment and here: http://serverfault.com/questions/573411/why-cant-i-upload-drivers-to-my-samba-print-server The root of the problem is that Kyocera Manufacturer lists its drivers as NTx86.5.1, NTx86.6.0, NTamd64.5.1, NTamd64.6.0 instead of simple NTx86 and NTx64 and samba server doesn't seem to know anything except NTx86 and NTx64. The solution with manual editing of the ".inf" file goes well only when you install such a modified printer driver on a couple of computers. You can manually override the "unsigned driver" warning. If you are going to install these drivers to hundreds of computers through the group policy it can become a nightmare. The modified ".inf" file causes denial of driver installation on windows 7 64 bit (at least) and it can't be ignored or overridden by the group policy.
Where can we download the driver?
(In reply to Andreas Schneider from comment #1) Here: http://www.kyocerasupport.co.uk/index/download_center.false._.FS1028MFP._.EN.html Choose "KX driver (certified and signed by Microsoft)" for Windows 7.
The driver specifies: [Manufacturer] "Kyocera"=Kyocera,NTx86.5.1,NTx86.6.0,NTamd64.5.1,NTamd64.6.0 This means it is for Windows version 5.1 and 6.0. The spoolss server announces itself by default as 5.0. See rpcclient //PRINTSERVER -Uadministrator%secret -c "getdata . Osversion" If you change the smb.conf and set in the [global] section: spoolss:os_major = 5 spoolss:os_minor = 1 It should work. Please try and report back. Thanks!
This fixes the issue with the version number but the driver still cannot be uploaded because of a missing feature, see bug #12415
(In reply to Andreas Schneider from comment #4) So there is no need at the moment for me to try it by myself on the test machine again, isn't it?
