[Samba] Installing printer drivers makes W2K misbehave
Hi, I've been trying to install printer drivers to a newly setup Debian 3.1 system, using Samba 3.0.14. This system is configured to lookup users in LDAP, and I've configured it so that the procedure as outlined in the HOWTO to add printers using the NT etc Add Printer Wizard works[1]. However, when I next try to add a printer which has had its driver configured in that way to that same system, it starts exhibiting strange behaviour. I've had printers that work perfectly from most applications, but of which the driver makes explorer.exe produce an incorrect instruction when I try to print a Windows Test Page. I've had printers that make explorer produce incorrect instructions when I browse to the printer queue dialog window. These errors are 100% reproducible on a per-driver basis, but different drivers produce different behaviour. At first I thought it was an error in the drivers; but I've seen this happen with three different printer models of two different brands now (two brother models; I don't recall what the other brand was, and don't have access to that network at this time), and I'm starting to think it's probably something else; but I'm not sure where to look anymore. Any hints?
