-<samba:parameter name="use client driver"
- context="S"
- print="1"
- xmlns:samba="http://samba.org/common">
-<listitem>
- <para>This parameter applies only to Windows NT/2000
- clients. It has no affect on Windows 95/98/ME clients. When
- serving a printer to Windows NT/2000 clients without first installing
- a valid printer driver on the Samba host, the client will be required
- to install a local printer driver. From this point on, the client
- will treat the print as a local printer and not a network printer
- connection. This is much the same behavior that will occur
- when <command moreinfo="none">disable spoolss = yes</command>.
- </para>
-
- <para>The differentiating factor is that under normal
- circumstances, the NT/2000 client will attempt to open the network
- printer using MS-RPC. The problem is that because the client
- considers the printer to be local, it will attempt to issue the
- OpenPrinterEx() call requesting access rights associated with the
- logged on user. If the user possesses local administator rights but
- not root privilegde on the Samba host (often the case), the
- OpenPrinterEx() call will fail. The result is that the client will
- now display an &quot;Access Denied; Unable to connect&quot; message
- in the printer queue window (even though jobs may successfully be
- printed). </para>
-
- <para>If this parameter is enabled for a printer, then any attempt
- to open the printer with the PRINTER_ACCESS_ADMINISTER right is mapped
- to PRINTER_ACCESS_USE instead. Thus allowing the OpenPrinterEx()
- call to succeed. <emphasis>This parameter MUST not be able enabled
- on a print share which has valid print driver installed on the Samba
- server.</emphasis></para>
