[Samba] Point'n'Print: adddriver / WERR_ACCESS_DENIED

[Philip Maurer]

Tried doing that, no dice - same error message!  However, I noticed that 
the "New Driver" button is not grayed out anymore - I get "Access 
Denied" when trying to update the driver via that method as well.  I 
tried chmodding drivers dir 777, still access denied...

Regards,
             Philip
