PE_HEADER_MACHINE_I386 wrong for Xp64 printerdrivers on samba-3.0.21-rc1? Re: XP64 Driver Installation Problem

[Hansjörg Maurer]

Hi

sorry, that I reply to my own mail :-)

I now seem to have found the problem,
why the 64 bit XP Postscript printer driver is not working correctly
under samba 3.0.21rc1
(see below).

A level 5 debug shows

  Admin opened file x64/3/pscript5.dll read=Yes write=No (numopen=1)
[2005/11/22 07:39:35, 3] printing/nt_printing.c:get_file_version(1055)
  get_file_version: PE file [x64/3/pscript5.dll] wrong machine = 0x8664
[2005/11/22 07:39:35, 2] smbd/close.c:close_normal_file(279)

in the source code mentiond above  I found
        if (SVAL(buf,PE_HEADER_MACHINE_OFFSET) != PE_HEADER_MACHINE_I386) {
            DEBUG(3,("get_file_version: PE file [%s] wrong machine =
0x%x\n",
                    fname, SVAL(buf,PE_HEADER_MACHINE_OFFSET)));
            /* At this point, we assume the file is in error. It still
could be somthing
             * else besides a PE file, but it unlikely at this point.
             */
            goto error_exit;
        }

which seems to be not correct for 64-bit drivers

I am not familiar with binary files :-)
so my own possibility to solve the problem would be to comment out the
source from above.

But maybe someone could add PE_HEADER_MACHINE_X64 check ore someting else...

I put the driver files under
ftp://ftp.dlr.de/robotic/outgoing/maurer/64-Bit.zip
if someone want to try to solve the problem

Let me know, if you need further information
Greetings from munich

PS: I have submitted Bug #3275 concerning the problem
