[Samba] Need help with printer drivers

[Aaron Lewis]

Thanks Rowland. I've followed the guide on that page, the following
page looks good:
https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Configuring_Point%27n%27Print_automatic_printer_driver_deployment

However, when I try to add a driver with "Print Management" to the
Samba server, I got an access denied error.

Here's how I did it.
------------------------

1. create a user with smbpasswd, work:work
2. change myprinter configuration and add a write list

[myprinter]
comment = Printer Drivers
path = /var/lib/samba/printers
valid users = work
write list = work
read only = No
printable = Yes
printer name = My Printer

3. on windows7 client, use work:work to authenticate,
    first run net use \\172.16.177.200\myprinter
    now \\172.16.177.200\myprinter is accessible

    Open Print Management, add 172.16.177.200 as a printer, then in
Drivers, right click and select Add Driver, a dialog popsup "Failed to
add driver, Access denied"
