Samba 3.5.9. We have printers exported to Windows and have the following
options configured:
enable privileges = yes
load printers = yes
printing = cups
printcap name = cups
cups options = raw
[printers]
admin users = @printer-admins
comment = All Printers
browseable = yes
path = /var/spool/samba
printable = yes
public = yes
[print$]
admin users = @printer-admins
write list = @printer-admins
comment = Printer Drivers
path = /var/lib/samba/printers
browseable = yes
guest ok = no
create mode = 2777
root preexec = /usr/bin/renice +18 -p %d
and net rpc rights list:

Everything works great, including printing and installing printers on
clients, EXCEPT when members of @printer-admins go into the printer
properties via a Windows machine, all administrative options are grayed out.
The only way I've determined that fixes this is to add @printer-admins to
the [global] admin users. Having them as admin users under [printers] and
[print$] doesn't seem to do it, nor does the rights assignment. Is this
expected? Am I missing a setting?
