I had this problem with alpha0 release and am still having problem with the
alpha1 release
Is anyone else experiencing this problem?

Subject: printer setup problem in 2.2.0 alpha0
I am trying to check out the new automatic printer driver installation
feature in the alpha release of Samba 2.2.0 on
Solaris 8 but I am having some problems. When I try to add a printer
from the new Samba server on an NT client it produces an
error message "Could not connect to the printer. The printer name is
invalid."
I am able to browse and connect to other shares with no problems, and I am
able to add the printer (with the same name) to a Win95
client with no problems
The printer name I am currently having a problem with is hp8100. The name
was originally hp8100dn_1, but I saw
a message from someone else saying they fixed the invalid printer name
error by removing underscores from their names.
This did not help me. This printer name is working fine on previous
versions of Samba.
Is this a known error, am I doing something wrong, or is this something
that will be fixed in the full release?
Sorry if this is not the right list for this message, could it be
forwarded if so...
Also sorry if this has been answered before, I have not been receiving
the mailing list lately.
Thanks for your time

Can you try the latest SAMBA_2_2 CVS code. We fixed some
Big Endian bugs recently (after 2.2-alpha0)
