We're using Point'n'print with different versions of samba (3.3.x,
3.4.x, 3.5.x) and in most cases it works really well. However, there
are some printer drivers with which we just cannot get printing to
work properly: in these cases not all driver features (like color,
duplex or multiple copies) are available.
I was wondering if this is a known inherent problem with some printer
drivers, or if this is caused by samba not supporting specific methods
or other requirements that these drivers would have.
The reason I'm asking is that I would like to know whether or not it's
useful filing bugs for these issues. I already have test setups and
I'm willing and able to spend time helping debug these issues, but if
this is one of those things that'll just never work it's not really
useful bothering anyone with it.
Examples of drivers that we can't get to work properly are the Brother
HL4040-CN and various drivers from HP (the bundled Windows drivers for
HP printers usually work fine.)
Great question +1. All our lexmark drivers work like a charm.
Xerox drivers are a PITA. I'm referring to vendor specific drivers,
since Windows does not have a bundle for the newest Xerox models we
have. I was also considering filing bug reports for these.
