[Samba] Samba 2.2.4 and PRINT$

[sthom]

I believe this is strictly related to the permissions (unix or samba) of the
print$ share. The write list in that share might be the issue, ntadmin was
not there.

If you navigate to \\copper\print$ , can you create text files in the W32X86
directory? If you can't write that way, the print driver install will fail
as well.
