Hi all,
I run a 3.0.8 Samba PDC with WIN XP SP2 clients. I configured printing (lprng) with drivers uploaded to the server for easy printer installation on the clients.
This works like a charm: I can drag'n drop printers from the server's printer share or install them with the local "Add printer" wizzard.
I do this as a domain admin on the client and it works fine.
BUT: If another user logs in to the client, he does not see the printers! And since he is not admin, he cannot install any.
I then took a look into the admin's NTUSER.DAT (with a hex editor) and found the names of the printers there!
So it seems i installed them only for this user.
Is this possible? I always thought that printers are installed system-wide.
What am i missing here? Can anyone help?
I found the answer in the Samba Howto:
Since network printers are installed per user, this much simplifies the process of keeping the installation up-to-date
Thanks for the good documentation, it is just soooo much to read ;-)
