spoolss_io_devmode: Unknown specversion in devicemode [0xdc]
spoolss_io_devmode: please report to samba-technical at samba.org!

Samba 2.2.8, when uploading the driver found here:
http://www.kyoceramita.com/download/KX200131.exe

(Kyocera Mita - KX anything)

I upload the driver from the manufacturer's .inf from a w2k client
(printer admin).  Click OK... The first time I will get a "Printer
settings could not be saved.", but subsequent uploads and OK fails
silently.

Refreshing the printers window shows the model updated.

View Properties...
Device settings cannot be displayed.  The driver for the specified
printer is not installed.  Only spooler properties will be displayed.
Do you want to install the driver now?

When I get the "Device settings cannot be displayed" error messages, I
get a bunch of the following in /var/log/messages and in the %M log.

A test print fails, and clients who attempt to install the printer are
prompted to install the driver locally.
Are there any solutions to this problem?

Thanks,
