Required Permissions
In order to add a new driver to your Samba host, one of two conditions must hold true:
-
The account used to connect to the Samba host must have a UID of 0 (i.e., a root account).
-
The account used to connect to the Samba host must be named in the
printer admin
list.
Of course, the connected account must still have write access to add files to the subdirectories beneath
[print$]
. Remember that all file shares are set to “read-only” by default.
Once you have created the required
[print$]
service and
associated subdirectories, go to a Windows NT 4.0/200x/XP client workstation. Open Network
Neighborhood or My Network Places and browse for the Samba host. Once you
have located the server, navigate to its Printers and Faxes folder. You should see
an initial listing of printers that matches the printer shares defined on your Samba host.
