We're putting together a Linux-cups-samba print server for Windows clients. A dozen print drivers have been loaded and used successfully on the Windows clients from the samba server. But, one particular printer is causing trouble: a Xerox DC 2240. When a windows client tries to open the printer preferences, after connecting to the printer on the samba print server, a popup says "operation could not be completed". Has anyone seen this behaviour before? I'm guessing that its somehow related to this printer's PPD file. When this printer's driver is loaded straight onto a windows client or from a Windows print server there is no problem.
Yes it is a known problem with the current CUPS windows print drivers (you probably used them for use with point-n-print features of samba?)

It's a CUPS thing...
What I did was try different PPD's every time rerunning the cupsaddsmb, and reinstalling the driver on the windows machines every time again (yes, very lengthy process) until it crashed no more.
No resolution otherwise, perhaps in the future when CUPS matures more.
