Hi Tom,
I too am in the same boat as you!
I have posted a few times about the problem which in the end has made
me setup a
dedicated print server at each site using samba 3.0.10 with the printer admin
definition to make uploading printer drivers happen!
The strange thing i have found from it all is that some of my sites have
magically worked while others just dont want to work at all... :(
if you find out a solution please let me know

Quoting Tom <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Well, all the below tests succeeded without changing anything but I
still cannot upload drivers from WinXP. One thing I did notice
though, is that I cannot 'su' to a domain user; ie: 'su
SAVAGEPHP\\administrator' fails with the message: Unknown id:
SAVAGEPHP\administrator. Any thoughts on that?
Thanks.

Hi Tom!
You need appropriate rights on the windows- and the unix-side.
To find out, if you're facing a problem with the unix-rights
(which is often the problem), you could try this:
1. Log in directly to the drivers share and
create or delete some files in the W32X86 directory.
On Windows:
start -> execute -> \\nightwolf\print$
On Linux:
smbclient \\\\nightwolf\\print$ -U 'administrator%password'
If this succeeds ... you should be able to add drivers, too.
2. Find out on the samba server which unix-user-id is used by the smbd:
> smbstatus
Samba version 3.0.20b
PID Username Group Machine
-------------------------------------------------------------------
14293 SAVAGEPHP\administrator SAVAGEPHP\domänen-benutzer martin
(192.168.3.74)
Service pid machine Connected at
-------------------------------------------------------
print$ 14293 martin Thu May 11 08:41:56 2006
3. Become this user on the samba server (as root):
> su SAVAGEPHP\\administrator
> cd /var/lib/samba/drivers/W32x86
> mkdir xxx
4. If you have a "unix-rights-problem" this does not succeed.
Check your directory settings (also have a look at the "W32X86/2"
and "W32X86/3" directory.
Hope that helps

I know this question has been asked quite a few times from the
archive, but nothing in the previous posts seems to help my setup.
I currently have samba 3.0.21c running on Slackware with CUPS as
the printing conduit. It's setup as a PDC as can be seen from the
smb.conf file below. I cannot, no matter what I've tried, get the
server to allow me to add printer drivers to a printer through the
printer properties dialog box. I've given myself the
SePrintOperatorPrivilege rights but that didn't work. I tried
putting the 'printer admin' directive in the smb.conf file and that
didn't work; I know it's deprecated but thought I'd try anyway. Any
suggestions would be greatly appreciated as I've been on IRC
several times trying to figure this out with no success. I've also
tried logging in as 'root' and 'administrator' neither of which
work; my /etc/samba/smbusers contains a line: 'root =
Administrator'.
Configuration files are attached. If any other information is
needed I will gladly supply it.
Thank you.
Tom
