Hello, We recently migrated our Samba server to Samba 3.0.22 and Cups 1.2.2, running on Debian. Since the migration, we have noticed an odd problem: Windows clients that hit the Properties box in their print dialog, then navigate over to the Driver Settings tab (the one with all the settings from the cups PPD file), and make changes, will have those changes ignored. That means that people can't enable things like Duplex printing, etc. We have tried this with both the vendor driver and the CUPS driver going through Samba, and have problems with both. Setting these options coming from pure Linux clients to the CUPS server works fine. I couldn't find anything in my logs, and google hasn't been helpful either. As far as I know, our CUPS and Samba are set up exactly as suggested in the Samba docs (and we're of course using cupsaddsmb). Any ideas? -- John
