samba - Jul 2010 - Error 0x000003e6 when trying to connect to a printer from w2k8 (x64)

Hello,

I'm trying to connect my W2k8 (x64) Server farm to our new installed
printserver based on debian lenny with sernet samba 3.5.4 installed.
Everytime i try to connect to a printer share via point and print, it
fails with error 0x000003e6.
When i do the same from Windows XP or from our old w2k3 (x64) server
farm everything works excellent.
Does anybody know a workaround. I installed nearly 80 printers on the
samba server and i don't want to do this again.

Regards

Thorsten

Hi Thorsten,

I can't be sure that its exactly the same error, but I had a very
similar problem that I solved like this:

In the policy editor, for the group policy that you're using to control
your print servers, explicitly disable the policy:

Computer Configuration:Policies:Administrative Templates:Printers:Always
render print jobs on the server

Windows documentation says this defaults to disabled, but we have found
this to be (at least partially) untrue for W2k8 - if you need it
disabled then disable it explicitly.

Hopefully that works for you...
