[Samba] Problem uploading printer drivers

[Christopher Fernandes]

Greg

Tried the APW in start-> settings -> printers and also doubled clicked on
the printer itself when finding the computer via the network neighbourhood
but the results are the same

the ownership/permissions are root:root and 777 for the
/usr/local/samba/print

Are you using the APW in Start->Settings->Printers or the one that you see
when you go to \\<machinename>\Printers?

What are the ownership and permissions on /usr/local/samba/print? (normally
I'd see this as /etc/samba/drivers/)
