[Samba] Access Denied when installing drivers using APW

[Scott Vintinner]

I'm trying to install print drivers onto my samba 3.0.28 server (Fedora Core 
8) following the Add Printer Wizard Driver Installation directions here:

http://us3.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/classicalprinting.html#id388379

Unfortunately, when I try to add the print driver, I receive a Windows "Add 
Printer Driver Wizard : Unable to install Ghostscript PDF, Windows 2000 or 
XP, Intel driver. Access is Denied" error message.  Trying to add a printer 
using the Add Printer wizard results in a similar "Add Printer Wizard : 
Printer driver was not installed.  Access is denied."

The Samba server is a stand-alone server.  I'm connecting to the Samba 
server from an XP machine, using the net use \\acro1\print$ /user:root 
command to make sure that I'm connected as root.  I've also run smbstatus to 
ensure that I'm connected as root:

[root at acro1 samba]# smbstatus

/etc/samba/drivers   .   Thu Jan  3 16:10:00 2008


The server is not running SELINUX, and the samba install seems to work fine 
otherwise (meaning I can connect to a test share as root and edit files just 
fine).  Below is my smb.conf.  Note that this server is being setup to use 
Acrophobia (http://acrophobia.sourceforge.net), which is where the ePDF.py 
scripts are from.  I've contacted the author, but Acrophobia is currently 
only supported on Fedora Core 3.  It's also my inexperienced feeling that my 
problem is a SAMBA problem rather than a problem with one of his scripts.

Any help or other ideas for debugging this would be greatly appreciated.
