samba - Nov 2003 - printer.tdb (tdb_oob len errors) and Quirkiness: Solaris 9, Samba 3.0.0

I set up printing IAW:
http://us4.samba.org/samba/docs/man/printing.html

I've confirmed the drivers are being installed to /etc/samba/drivers/W32X86.
Yet I am unable to print even a test page.  I get the following error:

"Test page failed to print.  Would you like to view the print trouble
shooter
for assistance?  Access is denied."

And I get the following errors in my samba log file:

tdb(/usr/local/samba/var/locks/printing/irl.tdb): tdb_oob len 1600941951

I would test 3.0.1pre3 first, but the tdb_oob is
troubling. That smells like an unitialized variable
somewhere.

This side is currently unavailable to me. I hope it contains the same
document as http://us3.samba.org/samba/docs/man/printing.html, which I
*can* see...

More exactly, they should end up in "/etc/samba/drivers/W32X86/2/" or
in "/etc/samba/drivers/W32X86/3/" (depending on which type of driver
you chose to install.

What are you getting with these commands:

    rpcclient -Uroot -c "enumprinters" SUPERSERVER    (if you have in
the "description"
                                                       lines two commas, there
are no
                                                       drivers recognized by
Samba....)

    rpcclient -Uroot -c "enumdrivers" SUPERSERVER
    rpcclient -Uroot -c "enumdrivers 2" SUPERSERVER
    rpcclient -Uroot -c "enumdrivers 3" SUPERSERVER

    rpcclient -Uroot -c "enumports" SUPERSERVER

This checks if Samba exports the kind of stuff Windows clients are
looking for....

Where it you find the advice to tag your [print$] share as
"printable"??
This is wrong. It means that Samba tries to export a printer with the
name of "print$", while it should be just a special file share holding
the driver files for clients to download. (If it is a typo in above
document, quick-quick!, provide a pointer to the exact place where it
occurs so it may be corrected....)

Instead of "printable = yes" insert a "write list =
@ntadmingroup,
username1, username2" to make it writeable to these users. (root
gets write access in any case, if he is in the "smbpasswd" file (or
backend).

Doesn't it work if you copy the print-related settings as suggested
in the document you quoted? Start there and then work from that point
to make your modifications, and you'll see which of your settings
(like "create mode" etc.) may break it....
