Dear list,
This problem has been bugging me for days now, I've got Cups version
1.1.21 and Samba 3.0.7 installed and working. There is a single
Laserjet 4100 attached to the network, printing via Cups or Cups/Samba
works fine.
The problems are with getting Point'n'Print to work. I've been
scouring
the net, archived posts of this list, read the official Samba manual, to
no avail. The problem is always the same; I can successfully copy the
drivers into the W32X86 directory using e.g. smbclient, but issuing the
adddriver command via rpcclient
rpcclient newserver -N -U'root%******' -c 'adddriver "Windows
NT x86"
"printer:cupsdrvr.dll:printer.ppd:cupsui.dll:cups.hlp:NULL:RAW:NULL"'
Always returns: result was WERR_ACCESS_DENIED
I've tried using the GUI method but when I get to the Advanced tab the
'New Driver' button is grayed out.
Best regards,
Philip

[Samba] Point'n'Print: adddriver / WERR_ACCESS_DENIED
Hello Philip, try putting the "printer admin" parameter into the global section. It's a global parameter that cannot be used "per share".
