[Samba] installing printerdriver without being admin under NT
hi i have NT and Windows 2000 Client served by a Samba PDC. This PDC is also CUPS-Printingserver. Now i up loaded the windows printing driver to the Samba-server into the print$ share. Under Windows 2000 i can download/install the driver with every PDC-account by clicking on the printershare, under Windows NT i need to be in the local administration group. Is there any possiblity to it under NT , which will give me the same opportunity like win2000 ? ( = download/install the driver with every PDC-account without being in the local admin group ???) Greets Jesko Schneider Thank a lot for answering :-))) -- Jesko Schneider Consulting und Training Schirmerweg 14 81245 M?nchen Tel: 0170/5500109 email: jesko.schneider@arcor.de

In Windows 2000 this "bug/feature" has been circumvented by moving the printer drivers to user space... I think want you want is not possible, but I may be way off mark her... *g* Cheers Nicki - -- Linksystem Muenchen GmbH info@link-m.de Schloerstrasse 10 http://www.link-m.de 80634 Muenchen Tel. 089 / 890 518-0 We make the Net work.

[Samba] installing printerdriver without being admin under NT
The printer "install" feature works here with NT workstations and Samba 2.2.6 as the server. Samba is not the PDC but I don't see why that should matter. Have you uploaded the NT printer drivers as well as the W2K drivers?
