hello everyone. i am running into an issue where xp pro clients
must have local admin rights to be able to install a samba printer.
the actual error message is:
A policy is in effect on your computer which prevents you from
connecting to this print queue. Please contact your System Administrator.
well, i am the system administrator and am not sure where to go next.
i am able to install the printer if i have local admin privileges on the
windows xp host, but this wont scale very well. i have created a
print package using mkprintpkg.pl and the instructions at:
http://us2.samba.org/samba/ftp/docs/htmldocs/printer_driver2.html
but still have the same problem.
maybe i've missed some documentation? or someone can help explain
where/if i've gone wrong. the linux box can print fine to the printer
and my smb.conf looks like this:
[printers]
comment = CompassAI Printers
path = /var/spool/lpd/samba
browseable = no
public = yes
guest ok = yes
read only = yes
printable = yes
printer admin = root, jon
[print$]
comment = Print Drivers
path = /etc/samba/drivers
browseable = yes
guest ok = no
read only = yes
write list = root, jon
you help is greatly appreciated.
