Samba3.4.9 (and earlier) as printserver: winxp client crushed when tries to use (print or change ) some drivers from [print$]

[Gennady G. Marchenko]

Hi!

I got a problem several month ago with using samba3 as print server and 
still can't fix it now. Many of new HP drivers cause crush any current 
application on clients with Windows XP if they use driver that they got 
it from samba server. Windows Vista/7 clients work perfect (!) with same 
driver installed on Samba server.

Printers drivers:

HP Deskjet k8600(dn) pro for windows xp
HP LaserJet P2050 Series PCL6 for windows xp

some other I can't remember now (

Software tested:
0) OS FreeBSD 7.2
1) Cups 1.3.10, 1.4.4
2) Samba 3.4.9, 3.3.x
3) Networked clients: Windows XP SP2-SP3, Windows Vista (SP1,SP2), Windows 7

Not affected:
Windows 7, mb Windows Vista.

How to reproduce:
Setup new k8600/P2050 printer with cups, check that print from it works 
goold
Setup samba pdc with print suppport and cups, setup print$ share
 From windows xp login to domain with account that have full 'printer 
admin privileges' go on server, printers and faxes folder, go to 
properties of new printer and install drivers to print$ from 'advanced' tab
Go to the server and click on the printer, wait when drivers installed 
on your machine as end user.
Try to check/change properties and/or print on it.
I got explorer.exe, notepad.exe and other application crushed.

Your help needed..

Thanks,
Gennady.
