Hi Louis,
Thanks for your reply, and sorry for delay. we were busy
trying to solve the issue ;), and a few days off after that.
Finally,
it looks like it was a corrupted tdb file, the
/var/lib/samba/registry.tdb
When I browsed the file via a windows
registry console, I can see that a working printer had subkeys and
settings while a problematic printer had nothing underneath.
I solved
the problem by :
* browsing the printer via a Windows 7 explorer
*
trying to connect, the windows browser say that the driver "" cannot be
found on the system, etc
* I chose a generic driver temporary
* Once
the printer is installed on the client, I delete it (still on the client
spooler)
* I refresh the print management console, the printer is
named back and has the wrong driver
* I change the driver, put the ACL
back, check the samba port back too, and the printer is ready
Now I put
a backup on all the samba directories every day ;)
Cheers and thanks a
lot, I keep your advices for ou next upgrades from samba 4.5 to 4.6
domain controlers
Cheers
