Hi,
I've problems to install printer drivers as a normal user with
unprivileged rights on WinXP in a samba 3.0.24 domain (debian etch)
using the "Point-and-Print" mechanism. I've read Volker Lendecke's Samba
book on page 131 footnote 1, which mention to enable "point and print".
Which reg keys do I have to set to install drivers by "Point and Print"?
I've set keys like described in
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/319939/en
but this does not work? Installing the drives from the print$ share
working as domain admin works works fine. Therefore I think, I've
forgotten to set some rights on the local XP machine.
smb.conf:
[global]
....
load printers = yes
printing = cups
printcap name = cups
....
[printers]
comment = All Printers
browseable = no
path = /var/spool/samba
printable = yes
public = no
writable = no
create mode = 0700
[print$]
comment = Drucker Treiber
path = /var/lib/samba/printers
browseable = yes
read only = yes
guest ok = no
write list = root, ntadmin
Cheers,
Marcus
