[Samba] "Printer settings couldn't be saved. Access is denied" problem on Samba 2.2.6
Hi Samba gurus,
I need your help for the problem of denying the change of the print
driver settings on samba. I have no any clue of this problem. Thanks for
any comments and tips.
Our institution has a windows 2000 active directory domain; I joined my
test samba 2.2.6 on a Linux box into domain as the file/print member
server. All the file sharing worked fine, but when I tried to upload
printer drivers from a Windows 2000 box into samba, and applied the
change to the printer. I got following message: ?Printer settings could
not be saved. Access is denied.? As matter of fact, I could see the
printer drivers were uploaded into the W32X86 directory.
I used ?atdadmin? account on a Win2k client to do the printer driver
uploading.
Under /etc/samba/smb.conf, I had following settings:
load printers = yes
auto services = lp1 lp2 lp3 lp6 single1 hp8550 hpplot lanier \
esig esig4050 esig5m esig8150 esigcolor dircolor
printer admin = @rdp,help,atdadmin
[print$]
path = /etc/samba/pdrivers
guest ok = yes
browseable = yes
read only = yes
write list = @rdp,help,atdadmin
[lp1]
comment = HP8100 in RDP Users Room
printer = lp1
printable = yes
browseable = yes
path = /tmp
print command = /usr/bin/lp -d%p %s
preexec = csh -c 'echo \"Your job destined for printer %S has been
received by %L \" | /usr/local/samba/bin/smbclient -M %m -I %I' &
public = no
writable = no
create mode = 0700
etc??.
Following are the files under /etc/samba/:
