Re: [Samba] Problem with adding printer drivers in Windows XP
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 --Chris Anders 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.
