Firstly, apologies for asking this again, I see that it cause a mail loop 
lasttime.

We've setup samba(2.2.4, no patches) and installed the printer drivers using 
the methods decribed in the printer_driver2.html.  The drivers have appeared 
to have install correctly, we you right click on the printer share and select 
properties the relevent tabs for the printer driver appear.  However, once 
the printer is installed on the workstation the properties are no longer 
accessible.  The following enter are reported in the log under a debugging 
level of 1:

[2002/06/10 11:25:55, 1] smbd/service.c:make_connection(651)
  STATION1W2K (192.168.2.147) connect to service print$ as user user1

"enumprinters 1, for the printer (they are 25 in total), shows:
        flags:[0x800000]
        name:[\\server1\PD_CTA_1235]
        description:[\\server1\PD_CTA_1235,Xerox Phaser 1235 PS,]
        comment:[]

"enumdrivers 2" for the Xerox printer driver shows:
Printer Driver Info 2:
        Version: [3]
        Driver Name: [Xerox Phaser 1235 PS]
        Architecture: [Windows NT x86]
        Driver Path: [\\server1\print$\W32X86\3\PSCRIPT5.DLL]
        Datafile: [\\server1\print$\W32X86\3\XRPH1235.PPD]
        Configfile: [\\server1\print$\W32X86\3\PS5UI.DLL]

I've seen mention of this problem being fix in 2.2.5, is it a known issue with 
2.2.4 or just a problem with my setup.  I understand that *SMBSERVER is what 
the NetBIOS name is when an IP address is used to connect and not a NetBIOS 
name.  All the workstation name are set via ISC DHCP 3 and BIND 9 using the 
interim update method, the DNS/DHCP also live on this box.

Thanks

Paul.
