Dale, 

Yes, I have the right assigned to my Domain Admins group and I just added it to my account just encase there is a group rights problem. Here is my user id rights. 

net rpc rights list "Domain\myaccount" 
Enter root's password: 
SeMachineAccountPrivilege 
SeTakeOwnershipPrivilege 
SeBackupPrivilege 
SeRestorePrivilege 
SeRemoteShutdownPrivilege 
SePrintOperatorPrivilege 
SeAddUsersPrivilege 
SeDiskOperatorPrivilege 


Thanks for the suggestion! 
-Glenn

Glenn, 

Have you granted your user Print Operator privileges? 

net rpc rights grant <user> SePrintOperatorPrivilege -U root

Initially when I posted my access problems to print$ I was using the new registry based smb.conf I had my whole configuration in the registry. Now I move my printers and print$ back to the text based smb.conf and I copied the standard ubuntu debian [printers] and [print$] out of the original ubuntu package smb.conf and the only modification that I made was under the [print$] I change read only to no instead of yes. I can not write to the share. Simply renaming print$ section to print I can access the share and write to it with no problems. Any more suggestions? I need to get this resolved. Here is my smb.conf now: 
[global] 
# configbackend = registry 
include = registry 
[printers] 
comment = All Printers 
browseable = no 
path = /var/spool/samba 
printable = yes 
guest ok = no 
read only = yes 
create mask = 0700 

[print$] 
comment = Printer Drivers 
path = /var/lib/samba/printers 
browseable = yes 
read only = no 
guest ok = no 

Thanks 
-Glenn

I did the suggested updates to app armor and this did not solve the problem.

Well, I did read the fine documentation and the documentation for this current situation it was no help. The reason I am using the registry for the smb.conf is memory savings, instance changes of smb.conf going into effect, and maybe future clustering. Also, I will state if using the samba registry method is not the proper way of doing things then why would the Samba developers add this feature into Samba? ;-) The reason I set the share with the current rights, is to troubleshoot the problem and prove that my file rights were correct. When I setup the print$ share "the proper way" it is still read-only even though I had writelist in effect. I currently have 1200 pc connect to a samba-ldap servers with the proper setup with no problems. I will investigate the app armor settings 

Thanks

I just made my print$ share settings to match my print drivers share 
which should work same This is what you believe. 

and I still cannot create folders or files on 
the print$ share, but I can all day on the print drivers share. Would 
someone explain why this is happening? Here is my share settings. 

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Samba\smbconf\print$] 
"path"="/var/lib/samba/printers" 
"comment"="Printer Drivers" 
"read only"="no" 


[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Samba\smbconf\printer drivers] 
"path"="/var/lib/samba/printers" 
"read only"="no" Why are you doing this? 

I think you should reread the excellent Samba docu again. 

Thanks

Harry, 

You did give me an idea though. For grins I just set rights to 0777 
even on the extended acls and I still get access denied when trying 
to upload print drivers. Here is the updated rights on 
/var/lib/samba/printers. You make your own changes. That's really fine.
