Our server is a SuSE Linux 7.2 with CVS samba 2.2 branche. Version number is 2.2.pre-4. We updated today.
We have a problem with the default devmode in Windows 2000 (SP2) clients. We have uploaded the printerdrivers to the share print$. The Samba printeradministrator is able to change the printer capabilities as memory, trays, papersize. etc. Changes are global: when a user logs in, he sees the new global printersettings. In Europe we use page size A4. So far, so good. But the default printersettings per user are not conform the settings the printeradministrator made. We don't know why. To be more specific: we want all users to have as default pagesize not "Letter" but "A4". Althoud the administrator set all papersizes to A4 the default user setting is "Letter". This default user printersettings are saved in the register, several places in "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Printers". Before allowing the user to make his own settings we: - We made paperformat adjustments to the ppd-file in appriate directory in the print$- share - We made a paperadjustment adjustment in the samba source (nt_printing.c) and replaced the default "Letter" by "A4". We also changed PAPER_LETTER to PAPER_A4. - In the registerkeys HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Printers all devmodes were absent or removed. Still the default peruser papersize setting is Letter. We changed the smb.conf file and added "default devmode = Yes". We expected with the last adjustment that a default devmode was generated when there is no key in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Printers. But even now the "Letter"-format is the default for the peruser printersettings. How is that possible? Can we do something to change this behaviour? Met vriendelijke groet/Regards, Prompt R.J.
