samba - Nov 2007 - Point-and-Print driver problems with unprivileged users on XP

Hi,

I've problems to install printer drivers as a normal user with
unprivileged rights on WinXP in a samba 3.0.24 domain (debian etch)
using the "Point-and-Print" mechanism. I've read Volker
Lendecke's Samba
book on page 131 footnote 1, which mention to enable "point and
print".
Which reg keys do I have to set to install drivers by "Point and
Print"?
I've set keys like described in

  http://support.microsoft.com/kb/319939/en

but this does not work? Installing the drives from the print$ share
working as domain admin works works fine. Therefore I think, I've
forgotten to set some rights on the local XP machine.

smb.conf:

[global]
....
        load printers = yes
        printing = cups
        printcap name = cups
....


[printers]
        comment = All Printers
        browseable = no
        path = /var/spool/samba
        printable = yes
        public = no
        writable = no
        create mode = 0700

[print$]
        comment = Drucker Treiber
        path = /var/lib/samba/printers
        browseable = yes
        read only = yes 
        guest ok = no
        write list = root, ntadmin

Cheers,
Marcus

I disabled point and print restriction. Don't want to send an exported
reg key to the list. See attached screeenshot.

Ciao!
