Hi,
I am trying to prepare downloadable printer drivers for Windows-Clients with Samba 3.0.0-final. Everything worked fine so far. But I found no way to add the printer driver files to the samba database. The method using the Add Printer Wizard in W2k did not work for me.
This is what I tried:
linux4:/# rpcclient -U'root%secret' -c 'adddriver "Windows NT x86" "LJ6:HPBLEF2.DLL:HPBLEF49.PMD:HPBLEF0.DLL:HPBLEFJE.HLP:NULL:RAW:HPBLEF1.DLL,HPBLEF3.DLL,HPBLEF7.DLL,hpbafd32.dll,hpbftm32.dll,HPBLEF41.DLL,HPBLEF42.DLL,HPDCMON.DLL" ' localhost result was WERR_ACCESS_DENIED
This error typically occurs, if you haven't any driver files waiting to be "adddriver-ed", laying in "[print$]/W32/X86/"
Once you run "rpcclient....adddriver", and it fails, you will have to re-assure that *all* the original files are still in place. (A partially succeeding "adddriver" may have moved the files already to the "2" or "3" subdirectories!
But your description is not clear at all. On the one hand you say you had used the "APW", on the other you are quoting the "rpcclient... ...adddriver" command in isolation.
An isolated "adddriver" will never work. There needs to be a step of putting the files (somehow) into the "[print$]/W32X86/" directory *beforehand*. The HOWTO Collection (version for Samba-3.0) suggests to employ "smbclient" for this job.
I suggest you painstakingly follow the steps described in chapters 18.6. or 19.10./19.11. of the HOWTO Collection. See here:

Any "hints" are very welcome!!

You want here writeable = no printable = yes
printer admin = root,arnstr,guest
[print$] comment = Printer Drivers path = /etc/samba/drivers browseable = yes guest ok = yes read only = yes write list = root
I suggest you read "man cupsaddsmb" and set up your config as suggested there.
