I've just tried this, again, without any success on a FC6 Samba 3.0.24.7 system.

There must be something missing either in my config or the Samba build. Do anyone have this working who could share a simple recipe to get it going? The obvious work around is to load the drivers into the Windows systems, as I have to date. Other than this, Samba is working fine.....

Thanks

Ken

The environment is FC5, Samba V3.0.24-4. I'm trying to set up the print$
share.

From an XP SP2 client I navigate to the "Printers and Faxes" folder
showing from the Samba server. Following the directions from the howto,
I right click on one of the printers etc etc.

The driver does upload to the share, I can see it there on the server,
but when the APW wizard closes and returns to the printer properties
box, clicking OK at that point gives the error "Printer settings could
not be saved. Access is denied". I guess that's when the .tdb databases
are updated via rpc to finish the installation.

I'm logged in as root on a PC that is a domain member. Root is a member
of a group that is mapped to domain admins. In other respects the
account behaves as administrator.

Is there some obvious config setting that I have missed?

See what the logs say... there may be a permissions problem in the
actual PATH for these things... I don't know who-all your users map to
in UNIX, but there are Samba permissions and the actual UNIX FS
permissions to contend with.

Thank you for the speedy response. A few more details....

Extract from /etc/group

kensnet_users:x:500:kens,joy,trin,vicki
kensnet_admins:x:501:administrator,root
kensnet_guests:x:502:

and
net groupmap list
Domain Users (S-1-5-21-2024537342-459999137-2141274792-513) -> kensnet_users Domain Admins (S-1-5-21-2024537342-459999137-2141274792-512) -> kensnet_admins Domain Guests (S-1-5-21-2024537342-459999137-2141274792-514) -> kensnet_guests

/etc/samba/drivers is 777 permission while I'm setting this up
