This occurs with Samba downloaded drivers of an installed printer. When attempting to view the printer properties you receive the following error: ?Function address 0x2d04193 caused a protection fault. (exception code 0xc0000005) Some or all property page(s) may not be displayed.? Followed by: ?The ?<drivername>? printer driver is not installed on this computer. Some printer properties will not be accessible unless you install the printer driver. Do you want to install the driver now?? This occurs with the following drivers, all version 61.074.561.43 (5/21/08): HP LaserJet 5200 PCL5e HP LaserJet 5200 PCL6 HP LaserJet 5200 PostScript Anyone see this before? Cheers, Bill

Often called the data blob. When the blob isn't set properly on the share, drivers can malfunction in strange and unpleasant ways. My suggestions are: i. Install the driver locally and use the MS property page for the print share to load the driver again. Set some of the data properties (eg. font or duplexer). This may force the blob to get set. ii. Alternatively, you could change your print architecture to use the standard MS PostScript driver and Ghostscript to convert the print jobs to the printer's language (PCL). The PostScript driver appears to avoid blob related issues.

Hi! Pleae try: default devmode = no in your smb.conf. You will have to delete your local printer connection and the corresponding entry in the ntprinters.tdb. It is the automaticly generated device mode that kills the driver.
