Hi,
Still working this out with the vendor.
Could you guys try this driver with the Xerox 7xxx model and let me know
if it plays nicer with samba?

Their thoughts is the device mode issue which we're all familiar with:
"Be aware that a valid device mode can only be initiated by a _printer
admin_
<http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/smb.conf.5.html>
or root (the reason should be obvious). Device modes can be correctly
set only by executing the printer driver program itself. Since Samba
cannot execute this Win32 platform driver code, it sets this field
initially to NULL (which is not a valid setting for clients to use).
Fortunately, most drivers automatically generate the printer driver data
that is needed when they are uploaded to the/ [print$]/ share with the
help of the APW or rpcclient. "
I just tried.
I can assign any driver, and correctly set default printing properties
(which I can't with current driver). However, I can't print. I guess
this is because my specific printer model (7435) is not supported by
this old driver version: it's not listed, and I tried all included
models without success.
So far, I've got the choice between a printing-but-not-configurable
driver, and a non-printing-but-configurable one :)
