Hi,
I'm trying to store a windows print driver on a samba 3 server (which is sharing a pseudo PDF printer) so that windows users in the domain can automatically have it installed (rather than having to choose a driver from their computer manually). I've tried the methods outlined in the samba howto but I can't get either of them to work. The one where you use a windows machine to install the drivers onto the samba server allows me to copy the drivers into the print$ share, however when I try to click "OK" or "Apply" in the actual printer dialog box I get the error "Permission Denied".
Also trying to do it manually on the Samba server using "rpcclient -U
<username> -c 'adddriver ....' gives me a WERR_ACCESS_DENIED error, even
when using the domain administrator as the username or the local root
account. I have a feeling I have not set up my print admin correctly in
Correct. You need administrative privilege to administer the printer drivers.
Samba-3.0.11 and later allow you to give any user printer admin rights. Check
http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/Samba-HOWTO-Collection.pdf chapter on User Rights and Privileges.

Yes the user has the correct permissions. Basically it copies the driver files across to the print$ share (/etc/samba/drivers) from the host, but then can not actually apply the change to the driver (ie: make it so that the samba server references that driver).
