		<listitem><para>With the introduction of MS-RPC based printing support
		for Windows NT/2000 client in Samba 2.2, a &quot;Printers...&quot; folder will 
		appear on Samba hosts in the share listing.  Normally this folder will 
		contain an icon for the MS Add Printer Wizard (APW).  However, it is 
		possible to disable this feature regardless of the level of privilege 
		of the connected user.</para>
		
		<para>Under normal circumstances, the Windows NT/2000 client will 
		open a handle on the printer server with OpenPrinterEx() asking for
		Administrator privileges.  If the user does not have administrative
		access on the print server (i.e is not root or a member of the 
		<parameter moreinfo="none">printer admin</parameter> group), the OpenPrinterEx() 
		call fails and the client makes another open call with a request for 
		a lower privilege level.  This should succeed, however the APW 
		icon will not be displayed.</para>
		
		<para>Disabling the <parameter moreinfo="none">show add printer wizard</parameter>
		parameter will always cause the OpenPrinterEx() on the server
		to fail.  Thus the APW icon will never be displayed. <emphasis>
		Note :</emphasis>This does not prevent the same user from having 
		administrative privilege on an individual printer.</para>
