I didn't figure out how to add that permission. is there a guide
somewhere that lists all relevant permissions and how to set them?
turns out that a big part of the problem was related to changing the
samba host SID. that raises an interresting question which I'll ask in
a separate post.
I still had to map drivers to printers using the command line, but other
than that, it worked excellently to load drivers.
the process to map drivers is this easy:
rpcclient -c enumprinters printserver
rpcclient -c enumdrivers printserver
sudo rpcclient -c 'setdriver <printer from 1> "<driver from 2>" density
but because of the permission problem above I had to run the last as
root, which meant adding a password and re-enabling samba root account.

if you run mmc, you can add a snapin called print management, which
enables you to manage various things (drivers, forms, ports, and
printers to be most important). Problem is, I can't figure out how to
use the "Drivers" method to add drivers. I get a "Failed to add driver.
Access is denied" error, can I can't figure fromwhere this error might
be issued. my laptop is ikari, so I tried to less
/var/log/samba/log.ikari, but there were no errors relating to
permission being denied.. my user is a member of the samba group
"lpadmin", and the share has "write list = @lpadmin" and the directory
it points to is chmod g+s and chgrp -R lpadmin. far as I can tell I can
write to this directory and there's no reason I shan't be able to
accomplish this except the mysterious access denied error.
I tried adding the (Apparently deprecated) printer admin = @lpadmin
option to the printer and print$ shares, but it didn't help. I'll be
removing it. my google-fu couldn't find the replacement attribute.
so the question is.. what do I need to do? is windows 7 incapable of
doing this, or do I just need to somehow add the missing magic
permission somewhere?
PS: This isn't a member of a domain, it's not currently related to my
other domain issues, though the server will eventually be in the final,
completed domain)
I could be on the wrong track here, but could the
SePrintOperatorPrivilege that's set with the "net" command have anything
to do with this (and if not that specific privilege, one of the others
that is in the same set). That's been the right way to delegate
permissions to a printer admin for some time, even before Windows 7.
If that's all it is, thanks for the neat trick!
