samba - Mar 2017 - access DENIED for non-printserver bits

Hi,
Running Samba 4.4.10 as a NT-domain controller. Does anybody know
what the error message "access DENIED for non-printserver bits"
(log level 3) means when trying to add a new printer driver?

Regards,
Åke

Hai, 

Can you tell me the brand and driver of the printer your trying , that helps. (
or send me a copy/link of the driver your installing )

I had a read thought your old(er) threat, but that didnt help. 

I did find the error in the following source code of samba. 
source3/rpc_server/srv_spoolss_nt.c

but i cant help with that code much to complex for me, but at least you know is
a "by samba" generated error.

And it looks like problems with rights if i look at that code. 
Maybe one of the dev's can help you a bit more here. 

But im interested in the printer driver info. 
If your able to upgrade to 4.6 thats what you really want, since there has been
lots of improvements in printer drivers support for win10.


Greetz, 

Louis

That does not matter. When I try to add a driver, I get an "Access
denied"
message befor the wizard starts.

Yes, I know WHERE it happens but not WHY... I need to know why so I can
do something about it.

I'm working on that but I have the same problem from Win 7,
Win server 2008 and Win 10 so it's not a specific Win 10 problem..

Ok, 

If it does not matter, tell me which printer driver version are you using.

V3 or V4 that is one you should know, because if its a "V4" driver, 
then its not supported by samba.
And samba doe only support non-packaged aware printer drivers. ( see wiki ) 

Are you using spoolss or spoolssd ?

Then provide the asked information, then i can help, without i can not.

And i hoop you did read :
