Hi everyone. I am trying to upload the printer drivers to the Samba domain controller. I an logging in as root, and I browse to the printer, select properties.. etc. I get as far as seeing the files upload and then I am returned to the printer dialog. If I hit either 'Ok' or 'Apply' I get an access denied or 'the operation could not be completed' I then check the logs for the machine that I am using (in this case log.mark) I do not see anything about it I do see the file uploads in the log. log.smbd and log.nmbd do not yield any clues either. configuratiuon settings: [print$] comment = Printer Drivers path = /var/lib/samba/printers admin users = root, Administrator write list = root, @ntadmin force group = root create mask = 0664 directory mask = 0775 and the directory is .. drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 48 Feb 24 11:54 drivers I also have these set for logging: log level = 2 log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m max log size = 50000 Ideas anyone? Thanks!
Hi, The servers are Gentoo. It's just one of those things I would like to work. It is not really urgent.

Go into the "printers and faxes" folder -> right click -> server properties -> drivers -> add driver.> > I then check the logs for the machine that I am using (in this case > log.mark) I do not see anything about it > I do see the file uploads in the log. > log.smbd and log.nmbd do not yield any clues either. > > configuratiuon settings: > > [print$] > comment = Printer Drivers > path = /var/lib/samba/printers > admin users = root, AdministratorTry the "printer admin" setting in the global section (even, if it's deprecated) - I've never seen the "admin users" directive in the "print$" section... But this should not fix the problem, as root is allways admin.> write list = root, @ntadmin > force group = root > create mask = 0664 > directory mask = 0775 > > and the directory is .. > drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 48 Feb 24 11:54 driversWhat's with the W32x86 subdirectory? And why's the path to the printer drivers (in smb.conf) "/var/lib/samba/printers"? That's the directory the driver are written to.> > > I also have these set for logging: > log level = 2 > log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m > max log size = 50000 > > Ideas anyone?
