<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 "Access
Denied; Unable to connect" 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>
