samba - Jan 2008 - Can not connect to printer from Vista 64 - error 0x000006f7

Hello.

I have a problem connecting to a printer via Samba from Vista 64-bit. 
Samba is configured to use printers from CUPS. When I try to connect to 
a printer I get a error message saying "Windows cannot connect to the 
printer. Operation could not be completed (error 0x000006f7)".

I have managed to upload both 32 and 64-bit printer drivers from a 
Windows client. Connection and printing works from Win XP, Win XP 64 and 
Vista 32, but not Vista 64.

Can anyone help me to debug or provide me with a solution?

OS: Debian testing (lenny)
Samba: 3.0.28-1
CUPS: 1.3.4-4

Regards,
Andreas

Hello Andreas,

this hasn't been fixed in the official releases, jet.
The problem and the solution has been reported earlier.
Look at:

http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba-technical/2007-September/055435.html

If you can compile the sources yourself, you can easily apply the fix to
3.0.38 by hand. Please report, if this works for you, too - as it hasn't 
been confirmed, that this solution works for others than me.

Bye,

Martin
