[Samba] Problems adding print drivers

Tue May 6 22:19:38 GMT 2003

First, I'd like to apologize to the admin, I accidentally emailed from my
work account which isn’t on the list. Probably not a problem, but, none
“sorry” the less.

No, I’ll check that out.

Yes, I did try. I tried the arguments that cupsaddsmb generated, and
manually formed the command myself. The output I gave is one of countless
attempts.

Yes, it does neither.

Looks like 1.1.15

If I "rm -r /var/lib/samba/drivers/*" followed by "rm ntprinters.tdb
printing.tdb ntdrivers.tdb" and "/etc/rc.d/smb restart" and then do
"cupsaddsmb -v -a -U root" (or do this per printer) it builds the above
file structure and returns the original errors. So, yes.

I also added root to the ntadmin group, to no avail

those files are already there, but when done manually, nothing changes

Yeah, I did try to form the commands manually, to no avail.

Thats what I gathered, yeah.

Thanks for your efforts, I am still banging my head against it over here.
I'll read that HOWTO tomarrow morning.
