[Samba] APW printing defaults : protection fault 0x6a90450e: version 3.0.7-Debian

[Tom Schutzer-Weissmann]

Trying to use SAMBA as a print server for Windows clients, I have
managed to share the printers, but following the setup procedure on the
clients I always get a protection fault when I try to open the "printing
defaults" part of the Add Printer Wizard in XP.

"Function address 0x6a90450e caused a protection fault (exception code
0xc0000005). Some or all property page(s) may not be displayed"

A lot of googling has proved inconclusive, except a mail saying this was
a known bug and suggesting an upgrade to version 3.0.0, but I am using
3.0.7!

On log level 2 there is no sign of any error, only files being opened
and closed. On log level 3 no error either.


My config file is below - thanks in advance!
Tom
