Hi, I am trying to run the addsmbcups command which uses: smbclient, rpcclient, adddriver, setdriver commands to do its work. It seems like it expects be be root, since it has to write to various places: /var/spool/cups/tmp/ and /usr/share/cups/drivers. My question is since I am using LDAP as the backend, root can't easily be used; does anyone have any recommendations on how this can be done? Thanks,
I guess not many people use this on here? perhaps the cups list is a better place to ask this? ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: solarflow99 <solarflow99@gmail.com> Date: May 20, 2008 11:53 AM Subject: permissions To: samba@lists.samba.org Hi, I am trying to run the cupsaddsmb command which uses: smbclient, rpcclient, adddriver, setdriver commands to do its work.
