Package: samba Version: 3.0.24-6etch9 Severity: normal Hello,
since /var/lib/samba/printers is owned by root:root and it's 755, thus cupsaddsmb fails to work as a non-root user. In the example below - user luca belongs to the lpadmin group - /etc/samba/smb.conf is a plain etch one with ########## Printing ########## printer admin = @lpadmin [print$] write list = @lpadmin ===== [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/luca# cupsaddsmb -v -U luca -H localhost -a Password for luca required to access localhost via SAMBA: Running command: smbclient //localhost/print$ -N \ -A /var/spool/cups/tmp/4778dc059c251 -c 'mkdir W32X86;put [...]' WARNING: The "printer admin" option is deprecated Domain=[TINELLO] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.24] NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED making remote directory \W32X86 Failed to open \W32X86/HP_Color_LaserJet_CM1017_MFP.ppd: NT_STATUS_OBJECT_PATH_NOT_FOUND Failed to open \W32X86/ps5ui.dll: NT_STATUS_OBJECT_PATH_NOT_FOUND Failed to open \W32X86/pscript.hlp: NT_STATUS_OBJECT_PATH_NOT_FOUND Failed to open \W32X86/pscript.ntf: NT_STATUS_OBJECT_PATH_NOT_FOUND Failed to open \W32X86/pscript5.dll: NT_STATUS_OBJECT_PATH_NOT_FOUND Unable to copy Windows 2000 printer driver files (1)!

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/luca# ===== I thought this was a wishlist, but then I came to the conclusion that this is a real bug, since a default smb.conf has "invalid users = root" and clearly states that even other non-root users can manage printers (drivers and properties). I used the lpadmin group because it's created on postinst by cupsys (and cupsys-client) and thus it sounds the best group to me.
