I'm using Samba 3.0 on a Debian Sarge server, and am trying to upload
printer drivers from a Windows client. I connect to the server using the
root credentials (yes I know ...), but every time I get an "access
denied" message when the driver upload process starts. I can perform
other root functions via this connection no problem. I have uploaded
drivers this way in the past but can't figure out why it won't work this
time.
Here's the relevant parts of my smb.conf:
[global]
printing = cups
printcap name = cups
printer admin = root
load printers = yes
[printers]
path = /var/spool/samba
public = yes
printable = yes
guest ok = yes
read only = no
[print$]
path = /var/lib/samba/printers
Do you have the COLOR, W32X86 and WIN40 directories created in
/var/lib/samba/printers? I think there are even others, for 64bit version of
windows and the like..
Otherwise, have a look at the logs. Easiest way to do this is to do
everything until uploading the driver and then increasing the log file with
'smbcontrol smbd debug 3'. Maybe you need to do this with different
(higher) log levels to get the right info.
Good luck!
