[Samba] Samba 2.2.4 and PRINT$

Hi,
  I'm having difficulty configuring Printing with Samba 2.2.4 and Windows
2000 clients. 
  The samba installations is running as a PDC against LDAP. All the
sharing of network file systems seem to be working perfectly..
 I have a share
	[printers]
        path = /usr/spool/samba
        guest ok = yes
        printable = yes
        browsable = no
        guest ok = yes
        writable = no
        printer admin = root
        public = yes
and another
	[print$]
        browsable = no
        printable = yes
        path = /export/software/printers
        guest ok = yes
        browseable = yes
        read only = yes
        write list = Administrator,root
Within my local printcap I have a printer which appears to the Network.
However When I come to login as the user root and run the Add Printer
Wizard, I fail to suceed in adding the printer drivers to the Network.
	Any ideas what is happening ?
	Edmund

[Samba] Samba 2.2.4 and PRINT$

Sounds like a permissions issue in the /export/software/W32X86 and WIN40
directories (I am assuming you have these directories in place).

[Samba] Samba 2.2.4 and PRINT$

I would upgrade to 2.2.5 before doing anything else. They've made it more
stable in that release, it seems, and it may solve your problem. Also,
there's a (important) patch to install on top of that:

ftp.samba.org/pub/jerry/patches/post-2.2.5/parse_sec.patch

As for your problem, please clarify what you mean by "fail to
succeed". You
need to distinguish whether it's a general permissions problem or a problem
with only uploading/setting drivers.

Example : use smbstatus to see if you're "really" logged in as
root (i.e.
mapped to root)

-t

[Samba] Samba 2.2.4 and PRINT$

I believe this is strictly related to the permissions (unix or samba) of the
print$ share. The write list in that share might be the issue, ntadmin was
not there.

If you navigate to \\copper\print$ , can you create text files in the W32X86
directory? If you can't write that way, the print driver install will fail
as well.

look at the "write list=" entry for [print$]
to see if you're listed, or a member of a listed group.
