Problem:
Printer driver upload via Windows-client failes with access denied.
Investigation:
If you have renamed you Administrator you may have this problem.
In /etc/samba/base.conf
the permission who is allowed to upload the printer drivers is hardcoded.
[print$]
comment = Printer Drivers
path = /var/lib/samba/drivers
browseable = yes
guest ok = no
read only = no
write list = root, Administrator, @Printer-Admins
So this is root, Administrator, and members of the Printer-Admins group.
Solution:
- Rename your renamed Administrator back to Administrator.
- Put the user into the Printer-Admins group
