I'm following along in the guide, trying to make printer drivers
available from Samba. But when I right-click on a printer in Windows
XP and select the "properties" tab, it's disabled:

So how do I enable this so the client can upload the drivers? So far I
have tried:
* Add the name of the user as "printer admin = username" in smb.conf.
However, testparm told me that "printer admin" was deprecated. Also it
didn't work.
* I wasn't sure if I was connected as a guest, so disabled all "guest
ok = yes" settings. However, this didn't prompt Windows to pop up a
login dialog and the printer wizard remains disabled.
Here is the output of smbstatus. It shows the machine I was connected
from. smb.conf contains "printer admin = pmoose" in the [print$]
section, yet I still can't upload the driver.
