[Samba] Printing to Samba printer causes application to abort

[Kirk B. Dice]

Thank you.  It made some progress...I added the "default devmode = yes" to
the [okib4250b] section in my smb.conf, bounced Samba, deleted the printer
from the workstation and reinstalled it.  The applications don't abort now.
However the apps now give me an unable to start print job error.
