samba - Apr 2002 - W2k protection fault w/HP drivers and Samba 2.2

Hi,

I'm having a major problem getting my HP DeskJet 840C to work correctly with
Samba (2.2.1a-4 - RedHat 7.2) and Windows 2000 Professional. Whenever I try
to view the properties for the printer the Windows 2000 box throws
"Function
address 0x6062c92f caused a protection fault (exception code 0x0000005).
Some or all property page(s) may not be displayed." I don't get this
error
when I hook up the printer directly to the W2k box and install the exact
same driver. I have set up a [print$] for Samba as explained in the
documentation and indeed the driver up/download functionality seems to be
working perfectly. The rest of my Samba file shares are also performing
great.
I have seen a couple of other people run into this in the archives but can't
find anyone who's posted a solution. This has been keeping me busy for days
now - ANY pointers on this problem would be very much appreciated indeed!!
Thanks.

cheers,
Mark

I'd look on the HP Support site for note on using
this printer on a network-you might have to use
something like the DJ550C driver, since it isn't
connected to a Windows PC's LPT.

HP driver issues-I think the newer ones need two-way comms with
the printers, for Plug and Play purposes, maybe.  We have an
OfficeJet 570 hooked up to an Intel NetPort Pro;  HP says
(and it's true, so far) that the 570 drivers won't work if
it's hooked up to anything other than the PC's LPT.  To
use it on the network, they say to use the DJ550C drivers.
That's how we've got it set up, and it works.  Except
for the annoying persistent "Paused" status that is
displayed on all of the PCs.  The jobs print ok, and I haven't
figured out what's causing it.  I have a HP DesignJet 450C
connected to the second port on the NetPort, and it works
just fine.
