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 a member of the
17 <parameter moreinfo="none">printer admin</parameter> group), 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. <emphasis>
25 Note :</emphasis>This does not prevent the same user from having
26 administrative privilege on an individual printer.</para>
