[Samba] Installing Windows XP printer drivers onto Samba 3.0.24
dear samba users I have been searching the online documents, howtos and such yet I did not find an answer to my question/problem, so if you have any hints for me that would be much appreciated....: We are trying since two days to install Windows XP printer drivers from the "Add Printer Wizzard" in Windows onto a Samba 3.0.24 installation. We created the [print$] share as recommended, created a user that is in the printer admin list in smb.conf (and that has write access to the driver store). When installing a driver, we get an obscure error message that a printer driver can not be added because some permission is denied. In the samba machine, the Windows machine created some directories in the driver store area named "__SKIP......". This drives me slowly, but surely, nuts... - Marc Balmer

For me the drivers install but when I go to associate them to the to the printer I get access denied in windows and a similar error in linux. John
