By "User" I meant the user you were connecting as (root in your case), sorry for being unclear. Okay, re-reading the thread and some Samba docs... It seems that root may be special and may *not* have to be in "printer admin", but then again other docs seem to show using a "printer admin = root" global, so I'm not certain. Or, I found this one ref. to an auth. problem with cupsaddsmb and a Samba PDC which may be related: http://us3.samba.org/samba/docs/man/howto/CUPS-printing.html#id2565677 Perhaps you need to include the "domain" portion? They indicate using rpcclient -U "DOMAIN\root%passwd" if I read it correctly. HTH P.S. I am really getting curious about this. Windows printer drivers (even under Samba) seem too much like black magic. Please let me know when you find a solution. -- Chris Harris <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ------------------------------------------- GNU/Linux --- The best things in life are free. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
