samba - Apr 2014 - Error0x00000006 with Point'n'Print Client Drivers

Hello,

I have a problem with the point'n'print driver installation. I followed
the instructions on
https://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/classicalprinting.html#id2626650
Now if I try to print on the Windows client I get an error 0x00000006.

Here is my configuration.
Printer: Kyocera FS-C2026MFP+
Server: Debian Squeeze, Samba version 3.5.6, CUPS cersion 1.4.4
Client: Windows 7 x64

So I configured the printer in cups, and confirmed it is working. I
configured the smb.conf with  "load printers = Yes" and with
[printers]
and [print$].

On the client I can add the printer and am asked to install the driver
manually. I select the Kyocera FS-C2026MFP+ KX driver. Now I can print
from the client.

Now I want to add Point'n'Print. So I copy all the files named on the
printed testpage to the [print$] dir on the server. Then I use the
following to add the driver:
> rpcclient localhost -c 'adddriver "Windows x64" "Kyocera
FS-C2026MFP+ KX:KMUC61BI.DLL:KMF09310.MDX:KMUU61BI.DLL:KMGKEN41.CHM:KM Language
Monitor:RAW:KMBASE2.XML,KMFS61BI.DLL,KMRF61BI.DLL,KMRC61BI.DLL,KM3D61BI.DLL,KM3M61BI.DLL,KMPE61BI.DLL,KMWM61BI.DLL,KMPF61BI.DLL,KMPO61BI.DLL,KMSP61BI.DLL,KMCO61BI.DLL,KMPC61BI.DLL,KMPLSW02.DLL,KMPLSWIP.DLL,KMPLID01.DLL,KMIEDIT.DLL,KCMV3D.INI,CONFIDENTIAL.MIE,NOCOPY.MIE,KMPRPVW.EXE,KMPOPUPMGR.EXE,PMCLIENT2.DLL,KMXL61BI.DLL,KM5E61BI.DLL,KM5C61BI.DLL,KMPS61BI.DLL,KMPD61BI.DLL,KMAGFA1.FDF,KMPRE2.FDF,KM324010.DAT,kmautoc07.INI,kmquery07.XML,KACT2.EXE'

Then I connect the driver and the printer:
> rpcclient localhost -c 'setdriver Printername "Kyocera
FS-C2026MFP+ KX"'

On the client I can now remove the printer and add it again, downloading
the driver from the server.

Everything looks good, until I try to print the test page. I get an
errror 0x00000006.
When printing from editor I get an error "The handle is invalid".

I did the whole process twice. The filenames now listed in the driver
properties are the same (even same order) as the ones on the first
testpage with manual driver installation.

I appreciate any help!

Cheers,
Fabian

Hello Fabian,

I had very very very much problems with printing and could not use 3.4.0 
up to 3.5.something until all my issues were fixed. I don't remember 
which ones it was in detail, but I had to stay at 3.3.x until one of the 
later 3.5 releases fixed everything.

So just out of my experiences, and of course as a general answer to that 
old version, I can say: Please upgrade to a more recent version (4.1.x 
or at least 4.0.x). 3.5 isn't maintained any more since 2.5 years.

If you are still having problems with a maintained version, let us know 
here on the list, and identifying the issue is much easier then.

Btw. here is a printer HowTo, that is validated with recent versions:

Hi,

Hello Fabian,

did you eventually solve this problem? I am trying to install three differen 
t kyocera printers in a company and I'm having exactly the same problem with
all of them.

Also, I cannot install the printer drivers in the way as it is described 
here: https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba_as_a_print_server

If I try to add a kyocera driver as described in this description, I do 
always get the following error message: "The folder you specified
doesn't
contain a compatible software driver for your device. if the folder contains 
a driver, make sure it is designed to work with Windows for x64-based 
systems". Seems to be one of those windows messages that lead to a complete
wrong direction.

I could successfully install drivers from other manufacturers -
"Zebra"
especially.

Any help is very appreciated
