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