Hi Ryan,
Sorry about my post. I have a samba 3.4.0 server running on ubuntu 9.10
with cups. I set up the printer sharing in smb.conf with following details
|[global]|
||
printing = cups
printcap name = cups
cups options = raw
[printers]
comment = All Printers
browseable = no
path = /var/spool/samba
printable = yes
guest ok = no
read only = yes
create mask = 0700
use client driver = no
# Windows clients look for this share name as a source of downloadable
# printer drivers
[print$]
comment = Printer Drivers
path = /var/lib/samba/printers
browseable = yes
read only = yes
guest ok = no
write list = root, @Systems, "@Domain Admins"
|Then I download CUPS drivers from |http://www.cups.org/software.php and
copy these files |to /usr/share/cups/drivers|
||
cups6.inf
cups6.ini
cups6.ppd
cupsps6.dll
cupsui6.dll
Then I copy Windows postscript drivers from
|%WINDIR%\SYSTEM32\SPOOL\DRIVERS\W32X86\3 |to the same directory
/|usr/share/cups/drivers|
ps5ui.dll
pscript.hlp
pscript.ntf
pscript5.dll
Then I add a printer from CUPS web interface with correct socket address
and PPD file.
After that, I publish this printer to Samba with
cupsaddsmb -U Administrator -v printer_name
and grant printer admin rights to Administrator
net -U Administrator rpc rights grant Systems SePrintOperatorPrivilege
Then I login from a Windows client machine as Administrator and go to
\\samba_server
* click on Printers and Faxes(printers on the samba server)
* right click the printer and select Properties
* select Advance and select install driver for the printer.
The driver is properly uploaded to the server and I can change the
Device settings and enable duplex unit and specify memory size.
It all went very well except that if I login as a normal user and add
the network printer I just set up. I only see default Device settings
with no duplex unit and default memory size. However, if I login as
Administrator, I can the Device settings are saved as I set up.
Normal domain users only have print permission. But they should also get
the default device settings and printing settings after the
administrator set them up. Now I have to give all domain users Manage
Printer rights to allow them to get the proper device setting
information. I think that is an issue. You have any idea? Any tips will
be much appreciated. Thanks.

Does anyone know how to fix this issue to make default printer settings
available to every domain user?? Thanks in advance.

Your e-mail is not at all detailed. If you're asking what I think you
might be asking, you need to make sure you're changing the printer
settings on the server (eg. \\SERVER\Printers and Faxes\printer), not
the client (eg. Printers and Faxes folder on the Start Menu).
