* 7: How do I set the printer driver name correctly?
Question:

> Enter "\\ptdi270\ps1" in the box of printer. I got the
> following error message:
>
> You do not have sufficient access to your machine

Answer:
In the more recent versions of Samba you can now set the "printer
driver" in smb.conf. This tells the client what driver to use. For
example, I have:
printer driver = HP LaserJet 4L
and NT knows to use the right driver. You have to get this string
exactly right.
To find the exact string to use, you need to get to the dialog box in
your client where you select which printer driver to install. The
correct strings for all the different printers are shown in a listbox
in that dialog box.
You could also try setting the driver to NULL like this:
printer driver = NULL
this is effectively what older versions of Samba did, so if that
worked for you then give it a go. If this does work then let me know
and I'll make it the default. Currently the default is a 0 length
string.
