Hi!
Sorry, I can't reproduce it.
It's a typical "no devmode" problem. But...
to create a _valid_ devicemode on your samba server perform the
following steps:
- open your printer
- choose "advanced" and then "printing defaults"
- toggle a setting and click "Apply".
This should force the driver to submit a self-created devmode to your
samba server and replace the default one.
Now your applications should (hope so ;-) receive all valid information
for printing.
Hope that helps!

P.S. I don't know what "bounced Samba" means but I think you need to
restart samba.

Thank you. It made some progress...I added the "default devmode = yes" to
the [okib4250b] section in my smb.conf, bounced Samba, deleted the printer
from the workstation and reinstalled it. The applications don't abort now.
However the apps now give me an unable to start print job error.

Hi!
Sounds like the NULL - devicemode problem.
Please set the "default devmode" parameter to yes.
"man smb.conf" gives you more information about that.
Bye,
Martin

I am using Slackware 10.2 (kernel 2.4.29) and Samba 3.0.21c for my print
server. The client workstations are WinNT4. I have two printers on the
linux server..an HP DeskJet 600 and an Okidata B4250. I can install and
print to the HP from any of the workstations. I can install the Okidata
just fine, but when I try to print from Word, Excell, or any application
Dr.
Watson comes to visit. I get an error 'Exception: access violation
(0xc0000005),Address: 0x68603667' and the application shuts down.
I can print directly to the printers on the linux box w/o any problems.
The
file permissions are both the same for the lpd print spools and the
rpcclient shows the drivers to be added correctly and set to each
printer.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
