Hi All,

I have Samba 3.0.22-1ubuntu4 running on Ubuntu 6.01 (eft) and am trying to
add printers using cupsaddsmb. On running it I get the following:

root at pykota:/home/printeradmin# cupsaddsmb -U root -a -v
Password for root required to access /var/run/cups/cups.sock via SAMBA: 
Running command: smbclient ///var/run/cups/cups.sock/print$ -N -A
/var/spool/cups/tmp/454b654e20cfa -c 'mkdir W32X86;put
/var/spool/cups/tmp/454b654a99ee9 W32X86/AcuLaser-C2000.ppd;put

/usr/share/cups/drivers/pscript.ntf W32X86/pscript.ntf;put
/usr/share/cups/drivers/pscript5.dll W32X86/pscript5.dll'
Connection to  failed

Unable to copy Windows 2000 printer driver files (1)!
root at pykota:/home/printeradmin# 

I know that the right password has been entered and I've tried the name
prefixed with the domain name as well. I've also tried wbinfo -g and -u
which both work and -t works fine. The machine has also been successfully
been attached to the domain and net rpc getsid BGS returns the correct sid.

If anyone can shine some light on this I'd be grateful :)

Cheers,

Jools
