Fw: [Samba] printer admin option replacement on stand alone (not domain) print server running version 3.0.25
Thanks to those who responded to my original question.

Fw: [Samba] printer admin option replacement on stand alone (not domain) print server running version 3.0.25
Hi Vickie I have been following your thread in the samba list - and I think I am wrestling with a similar problem. I want to upload windows printer drivers to a workgroup samba server. My samba is also 3.0.25. on a Centos 5.1 server. I have put the "enable privilege = yes" into smb.conf - and restarted samba. However - unlike you - when I try the command: #net rpc rights grant 'rhc' SePrintOperatorPrivilege And give the root password, I get the error: Failed to grant privileges for rhc (NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED) "rhc" is a user on both the linux server and a windows client machine - though I must admit I am confused about how the two user5 groups relate to each other in a workgroup samba setup. Curiously - if I attempt to grant the right to a non-existent user - I do not get an error. Since you seem to be trying to achieve the same thing - you may have encountered similar problems. Can you throw any light on this problem? Thanks Richard. Vickie L.
