[Gllug] Windows clients SAMBA printer, problem changing properties

[Tom Schutzer-Weissmann]

We are trying to set up an idependent print server using SAMBA and
Debian. It works pretty well, serves the drivers so the clueless can
connect to the printers easily, but they can't change the print
properties, for example to print the first page from a different tray to
the rest of the document.

Has anyone come across this before?

Thanks in advance,
Tom

--------------------------
Samba is 3.0.7-Debian

smb.conf:

[global]

# Do something sensible when Samba crashes: mail the admin a backtrace
   panic action = /usr/share/samba/panic-action %d
   printing = cups
   printcap name = cups
   load printers = yes
   guest account = smbprint
 ;  invalid users = root

; "security = user" is always a good idea. This will require a Unix
account
;       in this server for every user accessing the server.
   security = user

;  anon ish access without losing security = user
;
   map to guest = bad user
...

[print$]
   comment = Printer Drivers
   path = /var/lib/samba/printers
   browseable = yes
   guest ok = yes
   read only = yes
   write list = root

[printers]
   printer admin = root
   comment = All Printers
   browseable = no
   path = /var/spool/samba
   printable = yes
   guest ok = yes
   writable = no
   create mode = 0700
