Samba Printer Setup

Finally added our office printers to our samba server. This guide was very helpful:

My one problem was when adding the drivers. I kept receiving the error message: "WERR_ACCESS_DENIED". In the process of looking at many configurations and setup guides, I had set my smb.conf incorrectly. After lots of digging, I found that I had incorrectly set this parameter: "use client driver = yes". In my scenario, it should be "use client driver = no".
