The inability to print duplex is not fixed in 2.2.4. On top of that, I now have people that can't print at all.
A little background: A while back (with 2.2.3, then 2.2.3a, then with several CVS snapshots) I had the problem that even though I set the properties of a printer to "Duplexer Installed", when a user tried to print two-sided, the option did not show in the layout tab. Well, I upgraded to 2.2.4 and this did not seem to fix anything, so I deleted all the files in the locks directory and printers directory and reinstalled all the printers to the samba server. Still no joy. Worse, I now have reports from the user community: 1) Some people can't print. (I don't know the error, sorry.) 2) Nobody can look at the properties of the printers. The monochome PS printers. No problems getting the properties of the color PS printers. (Printers share driver code, don't they?) The error is: Printer properties could not be displayed. Operation cound not be completed. 3) Some people can't delete the printers from their own PCs. Even people with admin rights. So, I figured something was wrong with 2.2.4 so I reinstalled the previous CVS snapshot (I still have the binaries). Same problems. So, I then deleted all the samba files and restored from backups. Same problem. It looks like some change in 2.2.4 changed the _clients_ and now I can't get out of this mess I'm in. I have people who can't print. Lest anyone ask: the clients are all running win2k SP2. Samba is running on Solaris 8.
