Hello,
(please excuse poor translations of german Windows-GUI-items)
a customer of ours has a strange problem trying to install a printer
driver on the print$ share. The driver in question comes from
http://www.kyocera.de/kyocera_n/german/downloads/downloads.html ->
choose 'Treiber' -> choose 'Produkt Typ: Drucker', choose 'Produkt:
FS-6020', choose 'Sprache: Deutsch' -> 'Mini-KPDL-Win2K_XP-v8.2-DE.exe'
(the 9th item of the top). This is a multi driver package, the driver in
question is the one for a Kyocera FS-1118MFP(KPDL).
The printer driver is installed on an XP Pro machine, the user has
authenticated against samba as a person from the printer admin group.
The user opens explorer -> Network Neighbourhood -> samba server ->
printers and fax machines. In the file menu, he choses server
properties -> drivers -> add and tries to add the above mentioned
driver. Some files are then being copied to the samba server, but then
copying stops with a message "Access Denied".
The (reproducible) problem is a file which is tried to be copied to
W32X86/:
[2005/09/07 13:12:28, 5] smbd/open.c:open_file_shared1(1148)
open_file_shared: read/write access requested for file
W32X86/SET12.tmp on read only file
[2005/09/07 13:12:28, 5] smbd/files.c:file_free(439)
freed files structure 9190 (0 used)
[2005/09/07 13:12:28, 10] smbd/trans2.c:set_bad_path_error(2191)
set_bad_path_error: err = 13 bad_path = 0
[2005/09/07 13:12:28, 3] smbd/error.c:error_packet(105)
error string = Permission denied
[2005/09/07 13:12:28, 3] smbd/error.c:error_packet(129)
error packet at smbd/trans2.c(2200) cmd=162 (SMBntcreateX)
NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED
We've tried copying a file to that location using smbclient, which
worked. Other printer drivers are no problem, either. And, strangly
enough, this does not seem to be a problem with 3.0.7, but with both
some older and newer versions (including .20).
The printer$ section in smb.conf looks like this:
[print$]
comment = Printer Drivers
path = /var/lib/samba/drivers
write list = root, Administrator, at Printer-Admins
read only = No
Anybody has an idea what the problem may be?
Regards,
Wolf
