FW: [Samba] Samba printers print$

[Kyle Miller]

My [print$] section is pretty basic (I'm connecting as 'kyle', who is
also defined as a printer admin in global. Included global for
completeness, even though it's uninteresting.) :

[global]
        workgroup = TESTGROUP
        netbios name = KYLESMB
        server string = Samba Server for Testing
        log level = 4
        log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
        max log size = 50
        dns proxy = No
        printer admin = kyle
        show add printer wizard = Yes


[print$]
        comment = Print Driver Auto-Download
        path = /etc/samba/drivers
        write list = kyle
        read only = Yes
        browseable = No
        guest ok = No

My /etc/drivers/samba looks like this. Only a W32X86 dir, since that's
the only platform on which I have clients.

[kyle]$ ls -al /etc/samba/drivers
total 12
drwxrwxrwt  3 root root 4096 Jul  7 13:42 .
drwxr-xr-x  3 root root 4096 Jul 12 15:11 ..
drwxrwxrwt  2 root root 4096 Jul  7 13:42 W32X86

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Kyle
