Attached is a patch to fix a problem with printing from Windows 9x
clients, especially when a driver is installed. Clients always got a
Permission denied error. The patch is against Samba 2.2.3a
Tracing the code with a a high log level gave the following log message
[2002/03/21 12:37:40, 3] printing/printing.c:print_job_start(862)
print_job_start: job start denied by time check
The debug also showed:
[2002/03/21 12:37:40, 106] printing/nt_printing.c:dump_a_printer(2691)
Dumping printer at level [2]
attributes:[24]
priority:[0]
default_priority:[1417]
starttime:[1075804048]
untiltime:[1075804048]
Also:
When adding drivers using the rpcclient ( sub command adddriver)
tool, in order to get driver downloads working for Windows 9x, I noticed
that the Config File Name must be replaced with the Driver File Name
Example from (cupsaddsmb):
adddriver "Windows 4.0" "generic:ADOBEPS4.DRV:generic.PPD:NULL:ADOBEPS4.HLP:PSMON.DLL:RAW:ADFONTS.MFM,DEFPRTR2.PPD,ICONLIB.DLL"
Will generate an error when the client attempts to download the driver,
while
adddriver "Windows 4.0" "generic:ADOBEPS4.DRV:generic.PPD:ADOBEPS4.DRVADOBEPS4.HLP:PSMON.DLL:RAW:ADFONTS.MFM,DEFPRTR2.PPD,ICONLIB.DLL"
Works as expected!
The code should handle this,i.e if config file entry is null then try to
use the driver file entry..
Thanks
