[Samba] 4.4.3-Debian: Associating a shared printer with a driver and pre-configuration
Hello All, Each situation has advantages and disadvantages. In my home network with Windows 10 Pro desktops I have a samba server (Debian Testing/Samba 4.4.3) with standalone server role. I share a printer and I prefer to enable "point and print" driver install when I connect to the printer. My research suggests that granting SePrintOperatorPrivilege to any user is not supported in a standalone server (it seems to me because there is no administrator account). To get around this problem I did the following: - I installed the printer drivers from a local disk and shared the printer on my network - I also installed additional drivers for another CPU (x64 and x86) - Then I copied the drivers from WIN10-DESKTOP\print$ to SAMBA-SERVER\print$. Now I'm at the point of associating a shared printer with a driver with the command: rpcclient localhost -U root -c 'setdriver "Brother_HL-2140_series" "Brother HL-2140 series"' This fails with "result was WERR_ACCESS_DENIED". The documentation that I read is focused on Active Domain setups and I have excellent experience with AD, but now I'm configuring a standalone server. It seems that preparing printer driver provisioning from a standalone server is not supported. I have tried ACL, user maps, group maps. I see BUILTIN\Administrators available with SePrintOperatorPrivilege, but I don't see how to assign this role to my own samba account. Any suggestions, please? Thank you very much, Wilbert
