[Samba] Printing Preferences

[Sean Ryan]

Take # 2

I'm using the following versions of software:


    - Ubuntu 12.04 LTS x64
    - Samba 3.6.3
    - CUPS 1.6.3

My clients are the following:


    - Windows 7 x64
    - Windows 7 x86


My printer models are the following:


    - HP Laserjet P4015DN
    - HP Laserjet CP3525N
    - HP Laserjet CP4005DN
    - Canon iR Advance C5235


I've installed the drivers via the point and print method found here:


https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba_as_a_print_server

I used the following Point n Print drivers found here for the HP Printers:

     - Windows 7 x64 -- http://goo.gl/asOXXA
    - Windows 7 x86 -- http://goo.gl/HRzddP

I used the following Point n Print drivers found here for the Canon Printer:

 - Windows 7 x86 & x64 -- http://goo.gl/RH5HxX


After I map the HP printers via:
\\netbiosnameofdomaincontroller\printersharename all is well, as the users
can print without issue, but the end user's cannot
access the "Preferences..." found under Printer Properties > General Tab >
Preferences of the shared network HP printers so that they can adjust the
settings for
duplex, non duplex, color etc..

I have no problem adjusting the "Printer Preferences..." under the Advanced
tab for the HP printers so that I can push out Default settings as needed
there-after the printer is mapped.

The SePrintOperatorPrivilege privilege is set only for  the domain
administrator.

I'm not sure where to look at this point to resolve that issue, but any
help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
