Something is still wrong then, because the button is greyed out by the 
windows client when the OpenPrinter() with admin access fails.

I didn't see a 'printer admin' line in the global section.

[Samba] "New Driver" button greyed out on Windows Client Despite having sufficient rights

2004-08-04 Thread Donald Wong
I'm trying to add/connect to printers through samba, and tried to go 
through the "Add Printer Wizard" by clicking "No" for the "Do you want 
to install the driver now?" Prompt, but now the "New Driver" button 
under "Advanced" tab is greyed out, and there's nothing to choose from 
the printer driver list.

I googled and the only response that I've found so far are about 
insufficient rights, so I checked that I'm within the printer admin 
group but still not able to use the "New Driver" button.  I even try to 
just list myself as the printer admin and still didn't work.  I also 
have sufficient rights to access the print$ share.

Any inputs? Thanks
