Description Marc Muehlfeld 2010-05-20 12:56:22 UTC 
If I try to upload printer drivers on the server via a Windows client, I get errors on several files ("can't copy"). E. g. "SN0HGC.DL_"

It seems that the file should be copied to the wrong directory:

Comment 2 Marc Muehlfeld 2010-09-09 08:32:28 UTC 
This bug is fixed in 3.5.4 (haven't tested 3.4.x any more).
Comment 3 Stephan Hector 2010-11-10 04:04:36 UTC 
Bug isn't fixed. I have the same problem in 3.5.6 on Debian Squeeze.

If I try to upload a driver over a Win2003 or WinXP Box, I always get a "access denied". Looking where it tries to store the files, they are put in W32X86 directly, not in W32X86/3 as described here.

If you need a complete log, i'll try to deliver it, also if you need smb.conf and/or cupsd.conf.

greetings
Stephan
Comment 4 Marc Muehlfeld 2010-11-12 10:42:37 UTC 
You are right. It still exists. I can confirm on 3.5.6 too.
Comment 5 Marc Muehlfeld 2012-11-14 21:26:57 UTC 
I currently use 3.5.19 and updated printer drivers during the last 5 weeks (so 3.5.18 should be fine, too). And here I don't had any problems uploading drivers from XP and Win7.
Comment 6 Marc Muehlfeld 2013-05-08 15:49:49 UTC 
I can successfully upload a driver for a new printer with 3.6.13. So it seems fixed in at least in the 3.6 tree (don't have 3.5 any more).
Comment 7 Marc Muehlfeld 2014-05-15 08:31:00 UTC 
Im closing this bug report, as it works since 3.6.13
