FW: [Samba] Re: Access Denied touching shared CUPS printer

[chris]

After much trying I have finally got this to work and I'm slightly
embarassed to admit that the old RTFM tripped me up. In the Samba 3
HOWTO - the official one, rather than the draft I was originally using -
it states quite clearly that to get point 'n' print to work "use client
driver" needs to be set to "no" in the [global] section of smb.conf, and
the samba daemons restarted so that the APW will work. However you will
need to change this back to "yes" on completion and restart the daemons
again. During this process you may get Access Denied errors. 

I'm not sure if the rpcclient method works but it was pleasing to get
point 'n' print to work as smoothly as it should. Apart from this
difficulty, raw printing via Cups is very reliable, the only problem we
seem to have is with a Tally printer's internal print server which is
flaky under both NT and Samba.

Most Ugly! In Google'ing around it seems this "Access Denied" is a known
issue with Win2K/XP clients, CUPS printers, etc...

So, use printerui.dll to force install the printer driver and assign to
a local LPT1 port. Add a port registry key, and the update the port in
two spots under the printer instance. Finally stop/start 
the spooler task. Scrptable yet ugly.

Most Ugly! Ah, Samba team... does this topic need some pizza applied to
it? Please advise.

What's the bug anyway? Something to do with CUPS? It seems there are not
"lots" of people bumping into this, thus makes me think other printing
methods are not affected. I was quite pleased with HOW 
EASY this setup was going along, until slamming into the Access Denied
issue. RAW spooling looked way cool, Samba enum'ing the CUPS queues,
etc...
