Problems setting up printers on Windows NT Terminal Server
I am trying to set up printers for the first time using SAMBA and am having problems. Problem 1: When I try to connect to a printer on a Windows NT Terminal Server box as a user I get the following message: "You do not have sufficient access to your machine to connect to the selected printer, since a driver needs to be installed locally." NOTE: This is a NT Terminal Server NOT a ordinary NT Server/Workstation. System configurations are below. Problem 2: To get a short term fix for problem 1, I loaded the printer, as a network printer, on to our PDC, which was a Windows NT Server, than share it back out to the NT Domain. This appears to work but all the jobs go to the printer as owner "root". What we want is the person who submitted the jobs name appearing not roots. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------- NT Configuration: PDC: Windows NT Server Version 4.0 SP5 Terminal Servers: Windows NT Terminal Server Version 4.0 SP3 Citrix MetaFrame 1.8 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------- Unix Box which controls the printers: RS6000 Running AIX version 4.3.1 Note: It is part of a NIS domain ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------- smb.conf file: [global] server string = Samba %v %h workgroup = GHOSTVILLE username map=/usr/local/lpp/samba/lib/users.map dns proxy = no local master = no security = server password server = ghost wins server = 10.0.5.1 directory mask = 775 create mask = 775 delete readonly = Yes case sensitive = yes preserve case = yes unix realname = no printcap name = /etc/qconfig [printers] path = /usr/spool/lpd writeable = no guest ok = yes printable = yes [homes] comment = Home Directories browsable = yes read only = no create mask = 0755 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------- users.map: root=administrator root=sysnera nera=nera ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------- Could someone please let me know if I have configured it wrong.
