samba - Jun 2004 - rpcclient setdriver WERR_ACCESS_DENIED

Hello Admins,

We serve printing to XP clients with Samba 3.0.4 and CUPS 1.1.20

I get the following error when trying to issue this command:

xprint-admin:/home/suarezry# rpcclient localhost -N 
-U'username%password' -c 'setdriver oa-e108-e2 oa-e108-e2'
result was WERR_ACCESS_DENIED

<snip>
000018 spoolss_io_r_open_printer_ex
    000018 smb_io_pol_hnd printer handle
        0018 data1: 00000000
        001c data2: 00000002
        0020 data3: 0000
        0022 data4: 0000
        0024 data5: 55 df d6 40 fa 01 00 00
    002c status code: WERR_ACCESS_DENIED
</snip>

Does anyone have any idea on what the problem is?

regards,
Ryan

Who do you have as your printer admin in your smb.conf?  Should be 
something like printer admin = root, then when you issue the command use 
root%password.  Are you trying to setup point and print?  If so its much 
easier to do this from a windows machine.  If you need help let me know.

Ok, I found what the problem was:

I had the following line in the [printers] share in smb.conf:
    valid users = +staff

I just had to add the username that I was running cupsaddsmb with and 
that worked fine.

thanks,
Ryan
