After much trying I have finally got this to work and I'm slightly embarassed to admit that the old RTFM tripped me up. In the Samba 3 HOWTO - the official one, rather than the draft I was originally using - it states quite clearly that to get point 'n' print to work "use client driver" needs to be set to "no" in the [global] section of smb.conf, and the samba daemons restarted so that the APW will work. However you will need to change this back to "yes" on completion and restart the daemons again. During this process you may get Access Denied errors. I'm not sure if the rpcclient method works but it was pleasing to get point 'n' print to work as smoothly as it should. Apart from this difficulty, raw printing via Cups is very reliable, the only problem we seem to have is with a Tally printer's internal print server which is flaky under both NT and Samba.

In Google'ing around it seems this "Access Denied" is a known issue with Win2K/XP clients, CUPS printers, etc... So, use printerui.dll to force install the printer driver and assign to a local LPT1 port. Add a port registry key, and the update the port in two spots under the printer instance. Finally stop/start the spooler task. Scrptable yet ugly. Most Ugly! Ah, Samba team... does this topic need some pizza applied to it? Please advise. What's the bug anyway? Something to do with CUPS? It seems there are not "lots" of people bumping into this, thus makes me think other printing methods are not affected. I was quite pleased with HOW EASY this setup was going along, until slamming into the Access Denied issue. RAW spooling looked way cool, Samba enum'ing the CUPS queues, etc... -- Michael Lueck Lueck Data Systems Remove the upper case letters NOSPAM to contact me directly. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Disclaimer Privileged or confidential information may be contained in this message.

[Samba] Re: FW: Re: Access Denied touching shared CUPS printer
Are you refering to the printed book John Terpstra put out? OK, so I allow it to download the driver, then I don't get the error? And for what support exactly do I need to change it back to to = yes? Flipping this on the server from this to that to break one thing and fix another seems more than a bit annoying... especially when I like to work myself out of manual administrative tasks! ;-) -- Michael Lueck Lueck Data Systems Remove the upper case letters NOSPAM to contact me directly.
