Hi,
although I don't expect any answers (like most of the times) , here is my
experience so far:
I run a samba printserver for +3.000 hosts and 600 printers with a correct
setup successfully. So be sure, everything is plugged in, I tried to turn
it off and on again, I RTFM'ed and so on.
Here is my most successfull attempt to get the printservice going on 3.5.1
and windows 7 46 bit in an AD 2008R3 environment:
I installed the driver (Konica Minolta bizhub 250) using the print
management console on a windows 7 client host -> success: the driver-files
are visible on the samba machine in the x64 directory.
The printerdriver does not show up in the advanced tab of the
printer properties.
[printserver] # rpcclient -U<uid> -c 'setdriver
itmfp1 "KONICA MINOLTA 350/250/200 VPS"' printserver
->
Successfully set itmfp1 to driver KONICA MINOLTA 350/250/200 VPS.
Works, driver is visible now in tab, testpage prints out OK :)
Reopening the properties tab gives error message:
"C:\....\mmc.exe
Function adress 0xff38117a caused a protection fault (exception code
0xc000005) some or all properties pages may not be displayed"
In the samba logfile I see one error, don't now if it is realted though:
[2010/03/17 10:57:22.771269, 3] smbd/error.c:76(error_packet_set)

lib/util_sock.c:726(read_smb_length_return_keepalive)
got smb length of 224
All this is done on a 'windows 7 only' samba machine, I had no luck to
install the driver in an environment with x86 drivers already installed,
there was no way to get 'rpcclient' to associate the printqueue with teh
driver.
So as far as I see it windows 64 bit printing is working in principle but
not in a way someone could use it as a service.
If there is any interest in debug logging output or experiences with other
drivers and/or configurations don't hesitate to send me e-mail I am mor
then willing to be of any use to drive this further, don' expect any
reactions from the list though - surprise me ;)
cheers
