Hallo Samba-Team, thank you for 2.2.7. The only problem I found is an old one: status of printers served from samba on Windows 2000 I'll try to explain this so clear as possible: If I have a Windows user "Administrator", which is in Windows administrative group "Administratoren" and this user is on Samba-side *mapped* to "root" --> printer status is *ok*. If I have a Windows user "test" which is in Windows normal user group "Benutzer" and this user is on Samba-side *not mapped* to "root" --> printer status is *ok*. If I have a Windows user "test" which is in Windows administrative group "Administratoren" and this user is on Samba-side *not mapped* to "root" --> printer status is *not ok*: Zugriff verweigert; keine Verbindung m?glich (access not permittet; no connection available) printing is available Relevant Information for printing in smb.conf: Global: admin users = root printing = lprng printcap name = /etc/printcap printer admin = root load printers = no print command = chmod 666 %s;\ name="`echo '%J' | sed "s/^.*- //"`" ;\ /usr/bin/lpr -P%p -J"$name" %s;\ rm %s lpq command = /usr/bin/lpq -P%p -L lpq cache time = 4 lprm command = /usr/bin/lprm -P%p %j lppause command = /usr/sbin/lpc hold %p %j lpresume command = /usr/sbin/lpc release %p %j queuepause command = /usr/sbin/lpc stop %p queueresume command = /usr/sbin/lpc start %p Printer Share: [pr1] comment = local printer pr1 on %h browseable = yes printable = yes public = yes create mode = 0700 path = /tmp Relevant Information for printing in printcap: pr1: :done_jobs=0 :rw :sh :lp=/dev/lp0 :sd=/var/spool/lpd/pr1 :fx=flp Relevant Information for printing in lpd.conf: check_for_nonprintable@ force_localhost client_config_file=/etc/lpd.conf filter_ld_path=/lib:/usr/lib:/usr/X11R6/lib:/usr/local/lib filter_path=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr /lib/filters:/usr/X11R6/bin mail_operator_on_error=root pr=/usr/bin/pr printcap_path=/etc/printcap printer_perms_path=/etc/lpd.perms server_config_file=/etc/lpd.conf server_user=lp user=lp group=lp send_data_first@ Relevant Information for printing in lpd.perms: ACCEPT SERVICE=C SERVER REMOTEUSER=root ACCEPT SERVICE=C LPC=lpd,status,printcap REJECT SERVICE=C ACCEPT SERVICE=M SAMEHOST SAMEUSER ACCEPT SERVICE=M SERVER REMOTEUSER=root REJECT SERVICE=M DEFAULT ACCEPT Thanks for your interest tom
