[Samba] Setting up Pointing and Click Printing through APW on Win2k Machine

[Glenn Arnold]

First off I have read the SAMBA 2.2 printer documetation and Samba Printing Documentation for 3.0.  And searched the Internet through Google and did not come up with much.  Maybe it is how I am doing search I don't know. I had some success using CUPS for Point and Click printing using cupaddsmb command.  I could get the print drivers to download on W2K and XP.  But, I could not get the the Adobe Drivers to download to my Win9x machines.  When I tried to download the print drivers through APW to the Samba server you would see the drivers copy to the server, but when you click OK I get the message Printer settings could not be saved. Access is denied.  Here is the rights on my printer directory.

drwxrwxrwx   37 root     root         4096 Jul  1 20:12 Apps
drwx------    2 root     root        16384 Jun 22 10:44 lost+found
drwxrwxrwx    3 root     root         4096 Jun 24 17:12 netlogon
drwxrwxrwx    4 root     root         4096 Jun 27 18:49 printers

Here is the rights for the directories under printers
drwxrwxrwt    5 root     root         4096 Jul  2 19:58 w32x86
drwxrwxrwx    3 root     garnold      4096 Jul  2 19:31 win40

Here is rights for the directories under w32x86-- Notice __SKIP_0184
drwxrwxrwt    2 root     root         4096 Jul  2 19:20 2
drwxrwxrwt    2 root     root         4096 Jul  2 16:17 3
drwxrwxrwx    2 root     root         4096 Jul  2 19:58 __SKIP_0184

Also through W2K APW I tried to add printers that are not setup on the Red 9.0 linux box and created them trough APW I get the error message "Printer settings could not be saved. Access is denied."  I also noticed that this weird directory would pop-up in my printers directory it is named __SKIP_0184.  When adding the printer fails I click cancel and it disappears.  I truly believe it is rights issue I just do not know where to look.  My background is  in NT, so I just begun to start learning Linux and using for server applications. I have been real happy with Linux and Samba just stuck on this printer problem.  Also, I need some help with the addprinter command and delprinter command.  What goes after the command?  Most examples I see are addprinter command  is like this "addprinter = "  I know there is more to that command than this just blank.  Would some give me a good example of addprinter and delprinter command that works on Red Hat 9.  Here is my smb.conf file.

Thanks
