I've experienced something like this, as well. Though I don't know if this will help, I would make sure that your NT username(s) are appropriately mapped to unix users. You may not be able to view the properties because the permissions/mapped user are mixed up. You can check this by doing a smbstatus - the user names listed as connected are the unix usernames that have been mapped to.
NT error messages are usually red herrings or too vague when trying to figure things out. (Hence one of a gazillion reasons I'm a unix administrator and not an NT one :) ). Additionally, I would do frequent backups of your samba directory (once things are working), so you can revert to that in a worst case scenario. This is especially important when you have a drivers database (tdb file) that cannot be "hacked" back together. -t -----Original Message----- From: Kevin Long [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, June 06, 2002 12:15 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: [Samba] FreeBSD 4.5, Samba 2.2.4_1, W2K client "printer properties cannot be displayed" (Embedded image moved Kevin Long <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> to file: 06/06/2002 01:15 PM pic25467.pcx) (Embedded image moved Kevin Long <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> to file: 06/06/2002 01:15 PM pic15176.pcx) (Embedded image moved Kevin Long <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> to file: 06/06/2002 01:15 PM pic21246.pcx) Hello, I have a FreeBSD 4.5-RELEASE box running the SAMBA 2.2.4_1 port. I have successfully added a printer driver to the unit, and when connecting from a Windows 2000 client, I get the driver successfully installed. I then converted the system to a PDC and added a test machine to it's domain. I can connect to the printer, it downloads drivers, but when I choose printer properties, I get: "Printer properties cannot be displayed. Operation could not be completed" Oddly enough, when this SAMBA unit was a domain member, in a hybrid W2K/NT domain, I could get the printer properties. I can get the "server properties" correctly, and access shares, save profiles.
