Hi,
I have a problem for implementing automatic printer driver download on
Samba 2.2.7a. When I tried to upload printer drivers from a Windows 2000
client, I could see the printers were uploaded to the printer driver
directory W32X86 under Unix. However, When I tried to apply those
changes to the printer driver, I got “printer settings could not be
saved, Access is denied”.
The samba is Samba 2.2.7a on a Linux. I tried on Solaris version also,
but I got the same result. Here is some information from smb.conf:
[global]
printer admin = @rdp,atdadmin,help
[print$]
path = /etc/samba/pdrivers
guest ok = yes
browseable = yes
read only = yes
write list = @rdp,help,atdadmin
5 rerun:/etc/samba-> ls -al
total 84
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Jan 7 15:01 ./
drwxr-xr-x 72 root root 8192 Jan 7 15:12 ../
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 20 Dec 11 02:32 lmhosts
drwxr-xr-x 3 atdadmin root 4096 Nov 15 14:24 pdrivers/
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 776 Dec 11 02:32 recycle.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 120 Dec 11 02:32 samba-block.conf
-rw------- 1 root root 8192 Jan 7 15:01 secrets.tdb
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 10667 Oct 29 11:53 smb10-29-02.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 15571 Jan 7 15:01 smb.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 10731 Oct 16 13:02 smb.conf.rpmnew
-rw------- 1 root root 666 Dec 31 15:52 smbpasswd
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 97 Dec 11 02:32 smbusers
The samba was on a Windows 2000 active directory. It acted as a member
server for files/printing. I used “atdadmin” account for doing uploading
printer drivers from a Windows 2000 client machine.
Please help!
