[Samba] printing Problems in Samba 3.0.10

[Christoph Klein]

Hi all,
we are using Samba for a year in our departement. It replaced a
dedicated win2k-server for printer and file sharing. We are quite happy
with it, but we have still some problems. Does anyone of you know
solutions to this:
1. We are using HP Laserjet 4300 in our departement. Driver ( origial PS
drivers from HP website) installation was successfull and basic functionality works, but some features like collate and n-up are missing on the options panels of the driver. We tested these drivers on a Windows server before, and there they hadd these options.
2. From time to time our samba server forgets all options of the
printer: The Driver name, additional installed components (duplex unit,
second tray) and the long, friendly printer name.
3. Since today enumprinter returns for a single printer two printers: one with the friendly name, the other with the share name. If i open the properties dialog, they both show the same dialog for thr printer with the logn name. In smb.conf there is only a signle entry defined for this printer.

Sample smb.conf is appended

Thanks for your help

Christoph
