[Samba] Samba 3 and CUPs printer causes explorer to abend

[John H Terpstra]

Paul,

Have you followed the documentation in the CUPS Chapter of the
Samba-HOWTO-Collection.pdf that ships with Samba-3?

It's available from:
http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/Samba-HOWTO-Collection.pdf
(Refer to the Documentation Web pages on Samba.org).

>From my recollection, you might want to update your CUPS to version 1.1.18
or later.

If you have followed the information presented in the HOWTO, then please
document precisely how I may reproduce your problem. This will need to
document every step while making no assumptions that whoever is following
them has any intelligence. We can fix only a problem we can reproduce.

Cheers,
John T.
