SAMBA Privileges using cupsaddsmb

Hey all, I've been banging my head against the wall for the last day or
two trying to get this working. I'm trying to get my Ubuntu Linux
(Breezy Badger 5.10 release) to serve up print drivers to my windows box
when trying to share the printer attached to it.

I think I've got it almost there, I've just run into a problem with
permissions on the smbclient commands in the cupsaddsmb.

I've only been using linux for about a week, so any help on this would
help me out immensely.

/etc/samba/smb.conf
------------------------------------------
[global]
load printers = yes
printing = cups
printcap name = cups

[printers]
path = /var/spool/samba
browseable = no
public = yes
guest ok = yes
writable = no
printable = yes
printer admin = webster

[print$]
path = /etc/samba/drivers
browseable = yes
guest ok = no
read only = yes
------------------------------------------

I setup the samba user with:
------------------------
smbpasswd -a webster
------------------------

I used the command
--------------------
cupsaddsmb -a -v
--------------------

and the result was:
------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------

Password for webster required to access localhost via SAMBA:
Running command: smbclient //localhost/print\$ -N -U'webster%[password]'
-c 'mkdir W32X86;put /var/tmp/439fb7d81ff33 W32X86/PSC-1300.ppd;put

NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED opening remote file \W32X86/pscript5.dll
------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------


I can do:
------------------------------------
smbclient //localhost/print\$ -N -U'webster%[password]' -c
------------------------------------
and browse around, ls the file list, etc. I just can't change anything.

If anyone could help me with the NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED errors, I would
greatly appreciate it!

Re: SAMBA Privileges using cupsaddsmb

try setting print$ to readonly=no, writable=yes and see what happens.
This would only be during the cupsaddsmb process. Then set it back to
normal.

Looks to me like your printer$ share is read only according to your
smb.conf file. But I can't get it to work either. =P

Let me know if you figure it out.

Just reading the cupsaddsmb man file, maybe try adding
write list = webster

to print$
