-<samba:parameter xmlns:samba="http://samba.org/common">
- <term><anchor id="USECLIENTDRIVER"/>use client driver (S)</term>
- <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>
