Hi everyone.

I am trying to upload the printer drivers to the Samba domain controller.
I an logging in as root, and I browse to the printer, select properties.. etc. I get as far as seeing the files upload and then I am returned to the printer dialog. If I hit either 'Ok' or 'Apply' I get an access denied or 'the operation could not be completed'

Try the "add printer driver wizard". Go into the "printers and faxes" folder -> right click -> server properties -> drivers -> add driver.


I then check the logs for the machine that I am using (in this case log.mark) I do not see anything about it
I do see the file uploads in the log.
log.smbd and log.nmbd do not yield any clues either.

configuratiuon settings:

[print$]
    comment = Printer Drivers
    path = /var/lib/samba/printers
    admin users = root, Administrator

Try the "printer admin" setting in the global section (even, if it's deprecated) - I've never seen the "admin users" directive in the "print$" section...
But this should not fix the problem, as root is allways admin.

    write list = root, @ntadmin
    force group = root
    create mask = 0664
    directory mask = 0775

and the directory is ..
drwxr-xr-x  2 root root  48 Feb 24 11:54 drivers

What's with the W32x86 subdirectory? And why's the path to the printer drivers (in smb.conf) "/var/lib/samba/printers"? That's the directory the driver are written to.



I also have these set for logging:
    log level = 2
    log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
    max log size = 50000

Ideas anyone? Thanks!


The "access denied" error message doesn't explain too much. Several errors result in this message.

Bye,

Martin
