[Samba] Problems installing printer driver

[Martin Zielinski]

Hello!

The driver works on my installation.
But I remember a case where a driver package contained read-only files. 
They have been created on the samba server but could never be removed 
('cause they were read only;-)

The PPD-Files (the driver only contains ppd-files) of this package _are_
read-only (Properties -> Attributes -> Write Protected). You might try 
to remove this flag on (should be) KM6020EG.PPD and repeat the 
installation.

It seems, that samba creates  a temporary read-only file (SET12.tmp) and
fails to reopen it to move it or change some other properties.

Just an idea!

bye,
Martin
