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: ..............................................

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?
