Subject: RE: Samba as a print server
When an NT client attempts to connect to a printer on a non-NT print
server the attempt is failed with an error, something like:
"You have insufficient access to your computer to perform the
operation because a driver needs to be installed"
This is because domain users must have 'Power User' status on the
desktop to connect to printers on a non-NT print server.
This error occurs regardless of whether the driver in question is
already installed or not. What it really means is that the server is
a non-NT server and the client does not have permission to create
printers locally. Apparently when a connection to a non-NT print
server is made the printer is defined locally. Such an action can be
performed by either a local administrator or a Power User.
Unfortunately there is no way to limit the powers of a Power User, nor
is there any way to grant the Printer Creation right to another group.
This permission policy is documented in PSS database WINNT, ID Q101874
