Hi,
When a Windows 8 client requests a version 4 printer driver, and one is not
available, Samba then tries to find a version 2 driver and skips out V3.
When only V3 drivers are installed, this results in no useful offer to the
client.
The result is that Windows 8 clients are unable to connect using the Point
and Print mechanism.
Patches for Wheezy and Squeeze to follow. I loop down the available versions
to find one to offer, even if it's not the version the client requested. This
has the advantage of not needing another change if the requested version
increases again in the future. More work would be needed to actually support
version 4 drivers properly however.
Our client confirmed that this solved the problem for them.
Thanks,

Added to my TODO list (which I should process during the upcoming
week-end unless I spend too many hours running what I intend to run
on Sunday).
And *really* closing this bug with version tagging now....:)
