7 | <para>With the introduction of MS-RPC based printing support
|
---|
8 | for Windows NT/2000 client in Samba 2.2, a "Printers..." folder will
|
---|
9 | appear on Samba hosts in the share listing. Normally this folder will
|
---|
10 | contain an icon for the MS Add Printer Wizard (APW). However, it is
|
---|
11 | possible to disable this feature regardless of the level of privilege
|
---|
12 | of the connected user.</para>
|
---|
13 |
|
---|
14 | <para>Under normal circumstances, the Windows NT/2000 client will
|
---|
15 | open a handle on the printer server with OpenPrinterEx() asking for
|
---|
16 | Administrator privileges. If the user does not have administrative
|
---|
17 | access on the print server (i.e is not root or a member of the
|
---|
18 | <parameter moreinfo="none">printer admin</parameter> group), the OpenPrinterEx()
|
---|
19 | call fails and the client makes another open call with a request for
|
---|
20 | a lower privilege level. This should succeed, however the APW
|
---|
21 | icon will not be displayed.</para>
|
---|
22 |
|
---|
23 | <para>Disabling the <parameter moreinfo="none">show add printer wizard</parameter>
|
---|
24 | parameter will always cause the OpenPrinterEx() on the server
|
---|
25 | to fail. Thus the APW icon will never be displayed.
|
---|

|
---|
27 | <note><para>This does not prevent the same user from having
|
---|
28 | administrative privilege on an individual printer.</para></note>
