Hi,
we are using SamBa on a PrintServer HP J5600 under HP-UX 11.
- SaMBa 2.0.10: download works perfectly for Win9.x clients
- SaMBa 2.2.0a: download works perfectly for WinNT + Win2k clients
- download for Win9.x client has problems:
Here the Adobe PostScript Driver Installation Tool is in usage
since several years. Using this tool in the SaMBa download context
you have the following effect:
- some printer are working some printer not (it depends on the
choose of share and/or driver names)
share name: driver name:
eps2dia ZEDAT-eps2dia works not
folie ZEDAT-folie works
- it is independent from the ntdrivers.tdb ( with empty ntdrivers.tdb
and usage of the old printers.def method the effect is the same)
- after driver download there are obvious wrong registry entries -
especially the "default devmode", which cannot be avoided.
For example: scale mode = 0 (instead of 100(%)).
- it seems to us that SaMBa delivers an incorrect printer_info_2
structure.
- using the "New Printer Feature" of Windows all works ok (in contrast
to the Adobe tool Windows ignores the devmode Pointer => there
is no key in the registry)
