Yes, on it NT box. I didn't see the session [print$] in your smb.conf.
If you have it working you can use "use client driver = no" (default).
But, if you don't I think is better use "use client driver = yes" to avoid
problems with OpenPrinterEx() call.

I did the same upgrade of you. First I used "use client driver =
yes", to avoid the "Access Denied" message. Now I'm upgrading to 2.2.4 and
I'll use the [print$] with "use client driver = no", puting all print
drivers on my server.

Do you heve it? Look for printer_driver2.html file in your instalattion
docs folder. It can help us.

I don't think so. I understood that if you use "use client driver=yes"
you'll continue using spoolss, but with PRINTER_ACCESS_ADMINISTER right is
mapped to PRINTER_ACCESS_USE instead. Thus allowing the OpenPrinterEx()
call to succeed.
