Samba 3.5.9. We have printers exported to Windows and have the following options configured: enable privileges = yes load printers = yes printing = cups printcap name = cups cups options = raw [printers] admin users = @printer-admins comment = All Printers browseable = yes path = /var/spool/samba printable = yes public = yes [print$] admin users = @printer-admins write list = @printer-admins comment = Printer Drivers path = /var/lib/samba/printers browseable = yes guest ok = no create mode = 2777 root preexec = /usr/bin/renice +18 -p %d and net rpc rights list: .............................................. BUILTIN\Print Operators No privileges assigned BUILTIN\Account Operators No privileges assigned BUILTIN\Backup Operators No privileges assigned BUILTIN\Server Operators No privileges assigned BUILTIN\Administrators SeMachineAccountPrivilege SeSecurityPrivilege SeTakeOwnershipPrivilege SeBackupPrivilege SeRestorePrivilege SeRemoteShutdownPrivilege SePrintOperatorPrivilege SeAddUsersPrivilege SeDiskOperatorPrivilege Unix Group\printer-admins SePrintOperatorPrivilege SeDiskOperatorPrivilege Everyone No privileges assigned .............................................. Everything works great, including printing and installing printers on clients, EXCEPT when members of @printer-admins go into the printer properties via a Windows machine, all administrative options are grayed out. The only way I've determined that fixes this is to add @printer-admins to the [global] admin users. Having them as admin users under [printers] and [print$] doesn't seem to do it, nor does the rights assignment. Is this expected? Am I missing a setting?
