Hello List, I am using samba and cups as a print server and have added it into my 2003 AD. What I am would like is to not install any drivers locally on the client but have samba automagically send the correct PPD to the client. I can add my samba server by using the 'net ads join -U Administrator' command and it works as do the commands 'wbinfo' and 'getent passwd'. I can see the samba server in the 'Active Directory Users and Computers' and the printer and when I right click and say connect it does. When I pull up the properties page for the printer and hit the 'Print Test Page' I get a dialog box saying "Test page failed to print. Access Denied". I am logged into the DC with the same user as I have on the samba box but I still get the access denied, I even created a smbuser with same name but different password and still denied. I used the cupsaddsmb for my printer to place the files in the correct directory. This would constantly fail when I left the "security = ADS" line in my smb.conf file. So I had to change it to user and it ran fine, I then changed the "security = user" back to "security = ADS". Thanks for any help, Jon Here is my smb.conf: # Global parameters [global] workgroup = SYSTEMS realm = SYSTEMS.ALASKA.COM load printers = yes preferred master = no server string = Samba print server security = ADS encrypt passwords = yes log level = 3 log file = /var/log/samba/%m max log size = 50 winbind enum users = Yes winbind enum groups = Yes winbind use default domain = Yes winbind nested groups = Yes winbind separator = + printing = cups printcap = cups idmap uid = 10000-20000 idmap gid = 10000-20000 [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/cups browseable = no public = yes printable = yes guest ok = yes [print$] comment = Printer Drivers path = /etc/samba/drivers browseable = yes guest ok = no read only = no write list = root
