Greg,

In release < 3.0.11 you need to set the printer admin
option in the [global] section of smb.conf to give
user's the necessary permission to update the nt*tdb
files.  CHeck that this is working (sounds like it is).
And make sure that you don't have 'use client driver
= yes' set anywhere in smb.conf.





cheers, jerry
