Hi,
I have a problem for implementing automatic printer driver download on
Samba 2.2.7a. When I tried to upload printer drivers from a Windows 2000
client, I could see the printers were uploaded to the printer driver
directory W32X86 under Unix. However, When I tried to apply those
changes to the printer driver, I got ?printer settings could not be
saved, Access is denied?.
The samba is Samba 2.2.7a on a Linux. I tried on Solaris version also,
but I got the same result. Here is some information from smb.conf:
[global]
printer admin = @rdp,atdadmin,help
[print$]
path = /etc/samba/pdrivers
guest ok = yes
browseable = yes
read only = yes
write list = @rdp,help,atdadmin
5 rerun:/etc/samba-> ls -al
total 84
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Jan 7 15:01 ./
drwxr-xr-x 72 root root 8192 Jan 7 15:12 ../
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 20 Dec 11 02:32 lmhosts
drwxr-xr-x 3 atdadmin root 4096 Nov 15 14:24 pdrivers/
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 776 Dec 11 02:32 recycle.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 120 Dec 11 02:32 samba-block.conf
-rw------- 1 root root 8192 Jan 7 15:01 secrets.tdb
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 10667 Oct 29 11:53 smb10-29-02.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 15571 Jan 7 15:01 smb.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 10731 Oct 16 13:02 smb.conf.rpmnew
-rw------- 1 root root 666 Dec 31 15:52 smbpasswd
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 97 Dec 11 02:32 smbusers
The samba was on a Windows 2000 active directory. It acted as a member
server for files/printing. I used ?atdadmin? account for doing uploading
printer drivers from a Windows 2000 client machine.
Please help!

Didi, Thanks for the reply. I don't use PRINTING WITH CUPS in our samba servers. I guess "add printer command" in smb.conf is not needed. I have two Samba 2.2.2-pre samba servers with Windows workgroup network. They are all capable to do automatic printer driver downloading. We are in the process of Windows 2000 active directory migration, so the Samba with automatic printer driver downloading capability is very much needed. I just guess the problem could be from Windows side. It could be the problem from the domain membership. Our domain infrastructure is a single domain with multiple OUs. I am one of OU admins. Because I could see the printer drivers were uploading to the Unix directory, but got the denial from Windows Adding Printer Wizard when I tried to apply the change to the property of the printers. After I click the Printer from the Samba share, I could see two accounts from the security tab windows from the printer property on Samba printer. One account called "Everyone"; the other is a long list of number such as "S-1-5-21-78936058-1897051121-725345543-500". I guess this is the SID of the account that I current use. And this account allows to "Print, Manage Printers, and Manage Document". It could also be the compatibility problem of Windows 2000 AD and Samba 2.2.x.
