[Samba] installing printer drivers through APW problematic
Hi, I'm part of an organization managing Windows clients with a couple of GNU/Linux servers. We're having some trouble configuring our Samba 3 Debian Linux server. It's just a domain member with authentification done with a Windows AD Domain Controller, it's supposed to be our new print server. The printers have already been set up for lprng. Whenever trying to add a driver to any printer throught the Add Printer Driver Wizard on a Windows client, with a username part of the 'print admin' group, we get this error message: "Unable to install HP Lazerjet 4000 Series PCL 6, Windows 2000, Intel Driver. Access denied" All our printers are in /etc/printcap already. There are no entries for any of them in smb.conf gutenberg:/var/log/samba# testparm Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf Processing section "[printers]" Processing section "[print$]" Loaded services file OK. Server role: ROLE_DOMAIN_MEMBER Press enter to see a dump of your service definitions # Global parameters [global] workgroup = MYGROUP realm = MYGROUP.MYREALM server string = %h server (Samba %v) security = ADS password server = PWDSERV syslog = 3 log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m max log size = 1000 dns proxy = No panic action = /usr/share/samba/panic-action %d idmap uid = 10000-20000 idmap gid = 10000-20000 printer admin = root, @MYGROUP\Staff [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/smbprint create mask = 0700 printable = Yes use client driver = Yes browseable = No [print$] comment = Printer Drivers path = /var/lib/samba/printers write list = root, @MYGROUP\Staff create mask = 0700 gutenberg:/var/log/samba# We've read and re-read the chapters/section apropos in the doc, but can't find what we're doing wrong. Help or advice would be greatly appriciated :) Kudos for all the samba people, samba is awesome :) DJ
