Yes. I did add the rights to the "flavien" user too. I cannot
use "printer admin = " option in smb.conf as it's deprecated in the
samba version that I use.

Thus I did it with the "grant" command and it looks like I have
sufficient privileges (or do I need something else ?) :

However, I still get an ACCESS_DENIED error... :-(

  $ rpcclient  localhost -U flavien -c 'setdriver hp1 hp1'
  Password:
  result was WERR_ACCESS_DENIED


BTW, the "suspicious thing" :

It's perfectly valid : If I provide the netbios name on the command
line, it's the one that I get in the Directory Name field. So it's
logical and fine.


I'm still stuck with this permission problem, unfortunately... :-(
