[Samba] cupsaddsmb - why the heck can't I get rpcclient-addprinter to work?

[Brian Johnson]

I can't seem to get the rpcclient-addprinter to work - grrrrrr

It looks like the drivers files are copied correctly and the NT drivers are added
correctly but the addprinter command says it's unsuccessful!

rpcclient localhost -N -U JOHNSON\\root -c 'enumprinters'
shows the printer!!

What's going on?  I've tried removing
/var/cache/samba/ntdrivers.tdb
/var/cache/samba/ntprinters.tdb
and reissuing cupsaddsmb -v -U root -a
but I still get the addprinter error!
I also get a list of printers when I do a rpcclient-enumprinters after I delete the
two tdb files

If I then redo cupsaddsmb and click on the printer share from a windows client it
installs a driver ... but with the defprtr2.ppd (not the HP750C.ppd)

I tried copying the files from /etc/samba/drivers/WIN40/0 to
/etc/samba/drivers/WIN40 and tried installing the printer on a windows client ...
still getting the defprtr2.ppd (not the correct HP750C.ppd)

To try to be thorough, I checked the different levels of enumprinters and
enumdrivers: most worked OK but I got errors with enumprinters 3 and enumdrivers 0 and 2

#rpcclient -U root -c "enumprinters 3" piii_651
Password:
cmd = enumprinters 3
result was NT_STATUS_UNSUCCESSFUL

# rpcclient -U root -c "enumdrivers 0" piii_651
Password:
cmd = enumdrivers 0
result was NT_STATUS_UNSUCCESSFUL
# rpcclient -U root -c "enumdrivers 2" piii_651
Password:
cmd = enumdrivers 2
result was NT_STATUS_UNSUCCESSFUL
