[Samba] Add Printer Driver Wizard - does it work in 2.2.5pre1?
Hi, I've just started toying with the idea of deploying a number of our printers via samba. I'm trying to get the current HP device drivers for a HP 4+ (from HP's site) to upload. The workstations I am trying the upload from are either running Win 2000 SP2 or Win XP Professional. Using 2.2.5pre1, I can't convince a printer driver to upload using the Add Printer Driver Wizard - I get a generic message saying that it couldn't upload the driver, because "The operation was aborted.". If I roll my samba version back to 2.2.4, it seems to work fine with the XP supplied drivers, but I get a "Function address 0x77c43cba caused a protection fault. (exception code 0xc0000005) Some or all property page(s) may not be displayed." after uploading the driver. If I upload the HP driver (possibly this is a driver problem). Am I just having particularly bad luck, or is all this still being sorted out? Thanks, Chris

I'll test a new XP client tomorrow.> If I roll my samba version back to 2.2.4, it seems to work fine with the > XP supplied drivers, but I get a "Function address 0x77c43cba caused a > protection fault.
