Dear list,
since days I am trying to install several HP-drivers from a XP client
on the samba server (DC) - 3.0.28 on OpenSuse 10.3.
Installing the drivers contained in Windows works.
Installing drivers from a disk (e.g. for a Designet 4000) does NOT
work. It says "Driver for Designjet .... could not be installed.
Access denied". It is however creating a directory under W32X86 named
__SKIP_xxxx (where xxxx are different figures e.g. 00DA).
Linux-permissions at W32X86 are set to 777.
The directory named __SKIP_xxxx is created as "drwxrwxr-x root
ntadmin ....", so as admin root there should be sufficient access.
Even log level 10 didn't show me any hints. I changed to different
smb.conf settings, etc.
Did anybody of you experience a similar problem and has a solution?
Hi list,
there were no answers to my question from the list, however in the
meantime I was successful and found a solution. So here I'll document it
for other users:
- We migrated the Samba server (with existing LDAP-accounts) to a new
server.
- After that migration "domain root" didn't have full access to the
local clients any more (we'll have to work on that problem).
- As a workaround I logged on to the XP-client as administrator,
connected as "domain root" and so was able to install the drivers on the
server.
- Logging on to the XP-client as domain root was necessary to assign the
drivers to the printers.
Hope this description will help anybody in the future from investing
days to find a possible solution.
Best
Joachim
