[Samba] unable to install printer. access is denied.
I've been pulling my hair out trying to get printing working correctly for
weeks since I upgraded to the 2.2.x series. I finally got the Add Printer
Wizard installing the driver files into the appropriate directory, but
when I click on the Finish button, I get a dialog box with "Unable to
Install Printer. Access is denied."
I'm assuming from a few things I've read that this is because I have not
specified an "addprinter command". Are there examples of such things
out
there? I have seen no documentation other than the suggestion that it
should point to a script capable of adding printers. Other than adding an
entry to /etc/printcap, what else would an "addprinter command" script
need to do?
Thanks in advance,
Matthew
