A description of my configuration: Samba v3.0.0 - deb format from the samba.org site (also tried 3.0.1 but that broke the ADS connection so i had to downgrade back to 3.0.0 again) Server = ADS printer admin = Administrator, @"Domain Admins" What i want to do: using the cupsaddsmb command i want to add the cups driver to the printer NL_COMPANY_ICT using the Administrator account from the Win2k domaincontroller.. this is what happens: fpserv:~# cupsaddsmb -v -H localhost -U Administrator NL_COMPANY_ICT Password for Administrator required to access localhost via SAMBA: running command: smbclient //localhost/print\$ -N -U'Administrator%xxxxxx' -c 'mkdir W32X86;put /var/spool/cups/tmp/4002bd7782a81 W32X86/NL_COMPANY_ICT.ppd;put /usr/share/cups/drivers/cupsdrvr5.dll W32X86/cupsdrv5.dll;put /usr/share/cups/drivers/cupsui5.dll W32X86/cupsui5.dll;put /usr/share/cups/drivers/cups5.hlp W32X86/cups5.hlp' NT_STATUS_OBJECT_NAME_COLLISION making remote directory \W32X86 Running command: rpcclient localhost -N -U'Administrator%xxxxxx' -c 'adddriver "Windows NT x86" "NL_COMPANY_ICT:cupsdrv5.dll:\ NL_COMPANY_ICT.ppd:cupsui5.dll:cups5.hlp:NULL:RAW:NULL"' Printer Driver NL_COMPANY_ICT successfully installed.

Maybe printer admin = doesnt run this call as root (which it should?)
Tim, Ferdinand, this was most probably a configuration error and is known to work for a long time since 3.0.0. Closing this bug now.
sorry for the same, cleaning up the database to prevent unecessary reopens of bugs.
