Hi Buchan and All, I have appended my smb.conf at the bottom of this email for you to review. Your comments are greatly appreciated. I have also appended some additional info of my LM9.0 system.
Regards, Norman :::: I'm trying to add driver to the print$ share in Windows 2000 as a :::: printer administrator. But after selecting Printers/Server :::: Properties/Drivers, all tabs cannot be selected (grayed out). ::: ::: You need to be listed in 'printer admin group' or a member of such a ::: group, such as: ::: ::: printer admin group = @adm root ::: etc ::: ::: BTW, process is like this, browse to the Printers share on the ::: machine, right-click the printer, choose properties, say no when ::: offered to install a driver, click advanced, choose "New Driver". :: :: I do have printer_admin = @"MYNTDOMAIN\Print Admins", root. I also :: set my Print Admins to be the primary group for the operators. I :: also tried the process you described, but I still got access denied. :: Does this have to do with CUPS? Do I need to use cupsaddsmb? But I :: can't find the PPD from CUPS. They were available in the CUPS web :: config. : : No, if you use the cupsaddsmb, you end up using generic ps drivers on : the windows clients, in most cases you want the windows driver to be : installed there. Thank you. I guess I won't proceed with cupsaddsmb further. ::: Well, you should also have some directories under there such as ::: W32X86 etc. Check the perms of those, and also ensure the share has ::: enabled write for whoever is trying to upload drivers. :: :: All subfolder are there. It is 755 for all subfolders. The :: subfolders were created by Mandrake by default. I even did a :: setfacl -m g:"ARKONDOMAIN\Print Admins":rwx /var/lib/samba/printers, :: and gave rx access for all parent folders. But still unsuccessful 8( :: Please help. : : You need write access to the folders *below* /var/lib/samba/printers, so : try: : # setfacl -d -m g:"ARKONDOMAIN\Print Admins":rwx /var/lib/samba/printers : :: Regards, :: Norman : : It might help to send me your whole smb.conf so I can see exactly how : you are setup.
