[Bug 967410] Re: Windows clients cannot connect to shared printers

[jmsfnch]

Thanks David,

I can confirm libpam-smbpass is already installed and services were
restarted after making the change.  The results are the same.  Full
system also rebooted for good measure.

There seems to be something iffy with the permissions: The rpcclient
output for "enumprivs" is identical for both a member and non-member of
the lpadmin group.


I'm sure your fix will solve my problem, just as soon as I get my permissions in check.  Looks like I have a bit of reading to do!

  Windows clients cannot connect to shared printers

Bug description:
  Since installing 12.04 I can no longer connect my windows XP clients to my laser printers on the Ubuntu system using samba. 
  It works on 11.10 using the exact same smb.conf file.  
  I can see the printers from the windows clients, I can select it, I install the drivers locally from the windows pc.  When I click next I get the message "Windows cannot connect to the printer. Either the printer name was typed incorrectly or the specified printer has lost its connection to the sever". 

  This is a deal breaker for me.
