RPC errors in 2.2.3a and 2.2.4

[James F. Hranicky]

    OS:		FreeBSD 4.5-STABLE #12: Mon Apr 29 09:57:49 EDT 2002
    Samba:	2.2.3a / 2.2.4
    Printing:	CUPS 1.1.14

According to the logs for 2.2.4, I've been asked to send this message
to samba-technical. I'm having problems with setdriver and enumprinters,
as well as a problem getting printer properties from win2k after upgrading
to 2.2.4 . 

SETDRIVER:
----------

(Note: I'm setting the drivers for all my printers to Apple drivers
 so Windows will generate PS instead of PCL so I can count pages. For
 all I know, this is causing some kind of problem)

When I run the following command from rpcclient

    setdriver ps502 "Apple LaserWriter II NT v47.0"

I get the following error in the logs:
 
    [2002/05/03 12:44:07, 0] rpc_parse/parse_spoolss.c:spoolss_io_devmode(651)
      spoolss_io_devmode: Unknown specversion [0x0]!
    [2002/05/03 12:44:07, 0] rpc_parse/parse_spoolss.c:spoolss_io_devmode(652)
      spoolss_io_devmode: Please report to samba-technical at samba.org
    [2002/05/03 12:44:07, 0] rpc_parse/parse_spoolss.c:spoolss_io_devmode(651)
      spoolss_io_devmode: Unknown specversion [0x0]!
    [2002/05/03 12:44:07, 0] rpc_parse/parse_spoolss.c:spoolss_io_devmode(652)
      spoolss_io_devmode: Please report to samba-technical at samba.org

On the client side, I get this:

    rpcclient $> setdriver ps502 "Apple LaserWriter II NT v47.0"
    prs_mem_get: reading data of size 4 would overrun buffer.
    zsh: segmentation fault (core dumped)  rpcclient ash
    
Running a getprinter gives this interesting result:

    rpcclient $> getprinter ps502
        flags:[0x800000]
        name:[\\ash\ps502]
        description:[ash\\ash\ps502,Apple LaserWriter II NT v47.0,®P-êäå.êp;c]
        comment:[®P-êäå.êp;c]

    Corresponding printers.conf entry:

    <Printer ps502>
    Info HP LaserJet 4si in E314
    DeviceURI socket://ps502:9100
    State Idle
    Accepting Yes
    JobSheets none none
    </Printer>
    
I'm not sure why it's getting garbage. From looking at my other printer
configs, samba appears to be getting the information from the CUPS
printers.conf "Info" section:

    rpcclient $> getprinter ps114
        flags:[0x800000]
        name:[\\ash\ps114]
        description:[ash\\ash\ps114,Apple LaserWriter II NT v47.0,HP Printer in 114]
        comment:[HP Printer in 114]

    From printers.conf:

    <Printer ps114>
    Info HP Printer in 114
    DeviceURI socket://ps114:9100
    State Idle
    Accepting Yes
    JobSheets none none
    </Printer>

I guess one of the printer DBs was corrupted somehow, as I found a workaround for 
this: mv /usr/local/var/samba/locks{,.bak} and allow smbd to recreate it . 

I figured I'd still report it so all this is in the archives. 

ENUMPRINTERS:
-------------

Under 2.2.3a, enumprinters gives the following error:

    rpcclient $> enumprinters
    result was NT_STATUS_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL

Interestingly enough, this problem showed up "after a while", perhaps due to
adding more printers.

Under 2.2.4, I get this from the client:

    rpcclient $> enumprinters
    rpc_api_pipe: cmd 26 on pipe 7637 failed to return data.
    result was NT_STATUS_UNSUCCESSFUL

and this in the logs:

    [2002/05/03 13:25:14, 0] rpc_server/srv_pipe_hnd.c:unmarshall_rpc_header(412)
      unmarshall_rpc_header: assert on frag length failed.

getprinter <printer> still works, however. This is after having recreated
the locks directory.

PROPERTIES
----------

Moving from 2.2.3a to 2.2.4 has caused some of my printers to be unable
to display printer properties. When trying to get debug info, I found
-d 2 provided almost no insights, while -d 3 provided thousands of lines
information. Does anyone know what I should be looking for?

If anyone wants the smb.conf or any other info, I'll be glad to provide it.
