I am attempting to setup a Samba printserver to replace our Windows Print
servers.
I have defined a few printers in CUPS, some raw, and some not.
When I use the GUi to upload the drivers, The dialog works, however after
that is accomplished, any attempt to get the printer properties or to use
the printer from my W2K system (cpq0277) causes explorer to ABEND.

System setup:
RedHat 9
CUPS 1.1.17-13.3
Samba 3.0.0-2

I get the following in the samba log.cpq0277 file:

[2003/11/14 16:07:18, 0] lib/util_str.c:safe_strcpy_fn(577)
  ERROR: NULL dest in safe_strcpy
