[Samba] problems with print$

Hi All,


I finally signed up for the list after years of using Samba successfully - 
a testament to the quality of Samba.  Yet now I have a problem with the 
point-and-print functionality.  I am able to authenticate against my server 
(Solaris 8, Samba 3.0.7, OpenLDAP 2.1.25) as user 'chuck' in my LDAP 
directory and browse the shares, but when I right-click on the printer and 
select Properties (on WinXP), I get a dialog:

Printer properties cannot be displayed. Access is denied.

And no properties dialog is shown.  I googled the above message and found 
exactly one reference, the advice of which I followed (chmod 1777 
/var/spool/samba), to no avail.  A bit of background information:

The sysadmin group is a native posix group on my server (not just an LDAP 
group), and chuck is listed as a user in /etc/group.  I am trying to work 
from chapter 17 of the Samba-3 HOW-TO, but so far little joy except that of 
knowing I am not dealing with M$AD.

I will try the above with a native Unix user and see how that goes.  Any 
advice on doing this with an LPAP user would be appreciated.

[Samba] Re: problems with print$

I have a copy of the printed HOWTO collection and it has the correct procedure
for this. Must have permissions to the print share, must have created the
correct dir on that share for the client
architecture, must be a printer admin who is logged into the workstation
uploading the print drivers, a few other minor things... like make sure you did
not set root as an invalid user in smb.conf.

Here is my print specific smb.conf stuff...

[global]
########## Printing ##########
    load printers = yes
    printcap name = CUPS
    printcap cache time = 180
    printing = CUPS
    use client driver = no
    printer admin = @domadmin

####### Print Shares ########
[printers]
    comment = SMB Print Spool
    path = /var/spool/samba
    browseable = no
    public = yes
    guest ok = yes
    read only = yes
    printable = yes
    create mode = 0600

[print$]
    comment = Printer Driver Download Area
    path = /shares/print
    browsable = yes
    guest ok = yes
    read only = yes
    write list = @domadmin

#!/bin/bash

[Samba] problems with print$

Further information on this issue includes output from my smblog file:

[2004/12/08 11:48:13, 2] passdb/pdb_ldap.c:init_sam_from_ldap(485)
   init_sam_from_ldap: Entry found for user: chuck
[2004/12/08 11:48:13, 2] passdb/pdb_ldap.c:init_ldap_from_sam(864)
   init_ldap_from_sam: Setting entry for user: chuck
[2004/12/08 11:48:13, 2] auth/auth.c:check_ntlm_password(312)
   check_ntlm_password:  Authentication for user [chuck] -> [chuck] FAILED 
with error NT_STATUS_WRONG_PASSWORD
[2004/12/08 11:48:22, 2] smbd/server.c:exit_server(571)
   Closing connections

This is repeated ten times for each attempt to display the printer 
properties dialog.  I am able to see all other shares from the server, thus 
my NT and LM passwords are correct, so why the refusal?

See below for permissions I have set for the print spool and print driver 
directories.

Thanks,
Chuck
