Thanks for the tips, but neither of these are the case. My smb.conf has me listed as a printer admin in [print$]: printer admin = @adm, root, kodak I've also had this set to: printer admin = kodak and printer admin = root and I did try logging in as Administrator and root and kodak -- and no matter what I get: "Printer settings could not be saved. Access is denied." when I try to either "apply" or "ok" after installing "new driver" in the advanced tab. Obviously, I'm missing something, or I've somehow misunderstood the instructions in the "By Example" docs, but I'm stuck with that error every time. Like I mentioned, this did work on my old server running 2.2.8a (I don't know about later versions -- I know I was able to install the drivers on client machines, but I can't recall if I installed them on the server after I upgraded to later 2.2.x versions.) To recap, I'm running 3.0.7 right now. I appreciate the help, though. I'll keep trying. --J(K) Here's my current smb.conf. I've removed references to other shares, but otherwise, everything else is in here.
