I am trying to set up printers for the first time using SAMBA and am having
problems.
Problem 1: When I try to connect to a printer on a Windows NT Terminal
Server box as a user I get the following message:
"You do not have sufficient access to your machine to connect to the
selected printer, since a driver needs to be installed locally."
NOTE: This is a NT Terminal Server NOT a ordinary NT
Server/Workstation. System configurations are below.
Problem 2: To get a short term fix for problem 1, I loaded the printer, as a
network printer, on to our PDC, which was a Windows NT Server, than share it
back out to the NT Domain. This appears to work but all the
jobs go to the printer as owner "root". What we want is the person who
submitted the jobs name appearing not roots.
