[Samba] Can not connect to printer from Vista 64 - error 0x000006f7

[Martin Zielinski]

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
