[Samba] HP Deskjet 6940 and 6988

[Glenn Arnold]

Hello all,
 
Does anybody share HP Deskjet 6940 and HP Deskjet 6988 off a samba
server successfully?  I currently using Samba versions 3.0.24 Ubuntu
Fiesty Fawn in my production environment.  I also the issue occurs on my
laptop which is running Gutsy Gibbon 7.10 which uses Samba 3.0.26.  The
issue is when my users try to print multiple copies they can not through
the samba server.  These printers are hooked directly to the network and
cups is printing directly to the print through raw queue and using
sockets.  When I did further investigation I found with the driver
initialized if I click on printing preferences and click Paper\Quality
Tab I get the following message "Function address 0x77c47efe caused a
protection fault.  (exception code 0xc00000005)  The application
property sheet page(s) may not function properly."  I tried adding the
driver with default devmode = yes which I have had to use in the past to
get some HP Deskjet printers to work.  Here is smb.conf for my Gutsy
setup.  Any ideas on how to troubleshoot this further?  I will try to
install 3.0.28 with a vm session of Hardy ubuntu and see if I get the
same results.
 
Thanks 
-Glenn
