It looks like a domain user has NO printing permission.
Do I need Policy Editor for this? Where do I get it to run on an XP Pro
system?
I have seen various notes about this, but I can't make head or tails of
them.
Robert,
Have a look at
http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Implementing_System_Policies_with_Samba
This explains deployment of system policy through samba 3.X. It also
outlines the difference between system policy and group policy
You can still use Local Group Policy (through gpedit.msc), but as the
name suggests its local to every machine, and not deployable from the
Domain Controller.
Thanks for this reference. I see it is rather old as originally set up
on '06 and last modified in '08. It would see that Samba PDC setup
instructions would do a better job of pointing here.
The 'big item' now is which policy to get the HP printer drivers loaded
to use the local printer setup, as I could not find it on what is
available in XP, or I just have not set the policy right yet. As well
as what policy is blocking connecting to a printer share. It would be
nice if there was some logging of the blocking policy.
If you using samba4 have a look at
http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba4/HOWTO#Step_1:_Installing_Windows_Remote_Administration_Tools_onto_Windows
These tools include Group Policy Management console that works very
well with samba4
FC12 comes with 3.4.9, it seems. So I am staying with what the distro
provides.
