The environment is FC5, Samba V3.0.24-4. I'm trying to set up the print$ share. From an XP SP2 client I navigate to the "Printers and Faxes" folder showing from the Samba server. Following the directions from the howto, I right click on one of the printers etc etc. The driver does upload to the share, I can see it there on the server, but when the APW wizard closes and returns to the printer properties box, clicking OK at that point gives the error "Printer settings could not be saved. Access is denied". I guess that's when the .tdb databases are updated via rpc to finish the installation. I'm logged in as root on a PC that is a domain member. Root is a member of a group that is mapped to domain admins. In other respects the account behaves as administrator. Is there some obvious config setting that I have missed?

I don't know who-all your users map to in UNIX, but there are Samba permissions and the actual UNIX FS permissions to contend with. - -- ---- _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ |Y#| | | |\/| | \ |\ | | |Ryan Novosielski - Systems Programmer II |$&| |__| | | |__/ | \| _| |novosirj@umdnj.edu - 973/972.0922 (2-0922) \__/ Univ. of Med. and Dent.|IST/AST - NJMS Medical Science Bldg - C630 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFG4cPOmb+gadEcsb4RAqjAAJ43iIdJbdUm4/HM6FFPLqet8xzpGgCgzu50 VaxOo5brdmVKs0/MDgtAZC4=i0zD -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
