Hi Vickie
I hope you don't mind me contacting you directly - but I wanted to thank
you (and otters) for your help with this problem. I have finally got
printer driver upload working - after having taken a break from it for a
couple of weeks leave....
Everything went more or less as you said - but I also had some "bad
stuff" in my smb.conf - which took a bit of careful weeding to get rid
off...:-)
I think I have also just figured out how to set a global default
"printer Preference" so that my printer prints monochrome by default.
This is really wonderful...
Thanks Vickie
Richard.

I was able to get my print drivers to upload after doing the following.
1) Checked that the settings for the printer driver upload directory
were set to allow my account to write to it.
/# ls -l /s01/samba
drwxrwsr-x 3 vlkidder samba 512 Jan 06 21:45 drivers
2) Removed the printer admin option from smb.conf file.
These are my current smb.conf settings related to printing.
; Global Settings for Printers
printing = aix
load printers = yes
printcap name = /etc/printcap
print command = /usr/bin/lpr -P%p -h -r %s
lpq command = enq -e -As -P'%p'
use client driver = no
[printers]
comment = samba printers
path = /var/spool/samba
printable = yes
browseable = no
guest ok = no
public = no
read only = yes
writeable = no
[print$]
comment = samba printer driver upload
path = /s01/samba/drivers
write list = vlkidder
browseable = yes
guest ok = no
read only = yes
3) Ran "net rpc rights grant vlkidder SePrintOperatorPrivilege" to
grant my account "vlkidder" printer admin rights.
I'm not sure why, but when I run a net rpc command I get this the
error message
"Could not connect to server 127.0.0.1 The username or password was
not correct. Connection failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE". There is a
password for root account in the smbpasswd file. If I reset the samba
password for root using "smbpasswd root", I can run the net rpc
commands with no problem.
That's it. Now driver upload works fine.
The error I originally posted "_spoolss_addprinterdriver: Failed to
send message about upgrading driver[]!" still shows up in my log file.
The driver uploads and I'm able to modify the printer properties,
connect the printer to a client computer, and print, so I'm not going
to worry about it.
