SetPrinterData ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED

Hi I am trying to install a windows printer driver uploaded on a
RED-HAT 9.0 machine through a samba server. During Installation in the
windows client, the setprinterdata function gets called to write the
printer setting onto the registry. But here I get an access_denied
error. But then I modified the code to open the registry manually and
then write to the registry. This works fine. So I if I can still write
to the registry using RegSetValue why does SetPrinterData give me
Access_denied???

Please let me know if you guys ever had this problem and is there some
fix to this behaviour of setprinterdata function.

Thanks

Where did you get the printer handle? If you used OpenPrinter, did you
specify PRINTER_ALL_ACCESS or PRINTER_ACCESS_ADMINISTER?
