[Arcady Chernyak]

Are you now something about specific data binary data named "PrinterData", have length 560 bytes and saved into 
ntprinters.tdb file.
This structure has any incompatibility between NT and 2K drivers.

Thanks

Hi Jerry,

I uploaded the drivers from a Windows 2000 workstation, with the APW.
No errors were reported on the windows machine. This is supposed to set
the,
printer_info and devmode on the samba server, right? No other step from the
client
is needed to set these, as far as I know. Also, PRINTER_INFO_2
is NOT null. PRINTER_INFO_2->devmode is null, (just to clarify). I have
not checked the log while uploading, but while downloading I have and
I see a message "Returning NULL devicemode!" .

When I say I have checked the dump of nt_printers.tdb, I mean I have
visually verified. I know there
can be something wrong with the tdb, so I am going to check again.

Thanks and best regards,

Rohit.

Did you ever get the client to set it?  See the instructions in the
Printing HOWTO one samba.org/docs

Are you sure about this?  Did you check a level 10 debug log on the samba
box?





cheers, jerry
