[Samba] Problem with printersettings for regular users
Hi, We run Samba-2.2.6pre2 as PDC for Win2ksp2-clients and the printerfeature from 2.2.x The problem we have is that only the PrinterAdministrators can see the correct printersettings that are set on the Server (Duplex, memory etc.) When mapping the printer as a printer-admin you can see (and change) the settings for the printer but when connecting as a regular user (Everybody) you have the right to print and it works fine. The settings for the printers are greyed out as the should but the values there are the default for the printer when you install the driver and not the ones that are set on the server. This is kind of annoying since we don't want everone to be printeradmin but we want them to be able to do duplex-printing. We run the latest Lexmark PCL printer drivers for Windows 2000, not the UniDriver since they don't have duplex-printing. Have the printerfunctions in Samba-2.2.x been verified with Lexmark-printers?
