hello everyone. i am running into an issue where xp pro clients must have local admin rights to be able to install a samba printer. the actual error message is:
A policy is in effect on your computer which prevents you from connecting to this print queue. Please contact your System Administrator.
well, i am the system administrator and am not sure where to go next. i am able to install the printer if i have local admin privileges on the windows xp host, but this wont scale very well. i have created a print package using mkprintpkg.pl and the instructions at: http://us2.samba.org/samba/ftp/docs/htmldocs/printer_driver2.html but still have the same problem.
maybe i've missed some documentation? or someone can help explain where/if i've gone wrong. the linux box can print fine to the printer and my smb.conf looks like this:
[printers] comment = CompassAI Printers path = /var/spool/lpd/samba browseable = no public = yes guest ok = yes read only = yes printable = yes printer admin = root, jon
[print$] comment = Print Drivers path = /etc/samba/drivers browseable = yes guest ok = no read only = yes write list = root, jon
you help is greatly appreciated.
