Printing problem

Hi,

I have problems with printing via samba. We are running the latest
CVS Version (2.1.0 prealpha) as a PDC, I can log into the NT box, my
unix home is accessable. But when I try to install a (shared) printer
the printer browse list very often hangs and I have to kill and restart
the explorer. Even when the browse list suddenly appears I cannot install
the printer, I get an 'unknown error'.

When I put the debug level up to 10 I could see that smbd tried to look
for a file named "/usr/samba/lib/NTprinter_ps". Now this is new!

What is this file for, who has to create it? If it's me, what has to go
in there?

My smb.conf looks like:

# Global parameters
        workgroup = MATHEMATIK
        netbios name = EULER-PC
        server string = euler spielt PDC
        load printers = No
        printcap name = /etc/printcap
        domain group map = /usr/samba/private/domaingroup.map
        domain user map = /usr/samba/private/domainusermap
        logon drive = z:
        domain logons = Yes
        preferred master = True
        domain master = True
        wins support = Yes
        unix realname = Yes
        printing = bsd
        print command = /usr/local/bin/lpr -r -P%p %s
        lpq command = /usr/local/bin/lpq -P%p
        lprm command = /usr/local/bin/lprm -P%p %j
[ps]
        comment = HP Laserjet 5MP im D2.309
        path = /tmp
        print ok = Yes
        printer name = ps


Thanx for any help,

Christopher
