FWIW, I have the same problem here with Samba 3.4.2 and Windows XP
clients. In fact, one printer driver works via point'n'print, but
the others do not, so for now I've set all printers to use that one
driver (the PPDs are similar enough that it's not a problem).
Ok, so maybe it was the upgrade from 3.2.5 to 3.4.2 (required for
Windows 7) that broke things. The first few days seemed fine, so I
thought it was OK, but maybe that is because nobody reported
problems...
I'm currently blaming 3.4.x. Downgrading to 3.3.2 (the most recent 3.3
easily available as an Ubuntu package) makes the driver installation
work perfectly. Upgrading to 3.4.x breaks it again. Clean /var/lib/samba
and /var/cache/samba each time.
This is unfortunately a known issue and we are actively working on
resolving this; if you have a chance to test, the 3-4-test git branch
should have the necessary fixes (unless you are running sparc).
For Samba 3.4.4 these issues will be resolved.
I'm still seeing this behaviour in 3.4.5 -- XP claims that the server
does not have the correct printer driver installed. Is there anything I
can provide that will help to debug this?
I believe the developers were referring to this:
https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6883
It was supposedly addressed in 3.4.4 and marked resolved. If your still
having issues then you should leave a comment there and request to
reopen bug.
I personally haven't had a chance to try this version out yet.
