[Samba] Win2k explorer.exe dies when dealing with printers

[Llu'is Batlle]

Hi there.

I've been some days dealing with printing problems in Win2k clients, having
a Samba 2.2.5 parched with "parse_sec.patch" as a printer server.

When I try to print anything, explorer.exe dies. Sometimes dies spoolsv.exe,
or sometimes all the system locks (it may be because explorer do not restart).

It happens to all my Win2k clients with Service Pack 2, and only when using
HP drivers made by HP. If I use HP printer drivers made by Microsoft, I don't
have any problem. I also have an IBM Infoprint 12, and it doesn't give any
problem with its drivers.
The problem is related to HP drivers (latest versions).

The HP printers I deal with are:
- Two HP DeskJet 1220C
- Two HP DeskJet 920C
- One HP BusinessInkJet 2230
- One HP DesignJet 750C+


I just read in the archives that the patch from Jerry Carter (HP) could help,
but it just doesn't. :((

Here goes my 'smb.conf' file:
------------------------------------------------------------------

[global]
	netbios name = CHAPULIN
	workgroup = LEMMINGS
	password server = HOUSTON

	log file = /usr/local/samba/var/log.%m
	log level = 2

	; security settings
	security = server

	; encrypted passwords are a requirement for a PDC
	encrypt passwords = no

	guest account = smb_guest

I hope someone could help!

Thanks!
