[Samba] "printer admin" still working in 3.0.21c?

[Thomas Limoncelli]

While I'm able to successfully upload printer drivers with APW to my 
Samba 3.0.21c DMS server with CUPS, I have a hard time changing printer 
properties afterwards which always ends up with "access denied", 
although the AD account used to connect is listed in "[global] printer 
admin =".

I noticed that "printer admin" is marked deprecated in 3.0.21c, but 
isn't it still supposed to work? FWIW, TOSHARG and S3bE still suggest 
"printer admin" at various places.

I still have to find my way through the samba logs and Ethereal traces, 
but would be grateful for any advice in the meantime.

Here's the log.smbd snippet that *seems* to be the culprit:

[2006/02/27 18:21:24, 5] rpc_server/srv_spoolss_nt.c:check_printer_ok(5933)
   check_printer_ok: servername=\\myserver printername=\\myserver\HP 
Universal Printing PS sharename=myprinter01 portname=Samba Printer Port 
drivername=HP Universal Printing PS comment=myprinter01 location=
[2006/02/27 18:21:24, 3] rpc_server/srv_spoolss_nt.c:update_printer(6113)
   update_printer: printer property change denied by handle

Anyone?
