Is there a fix? Is it just that HP's new drivers don't work with Samba?
Yes, probably. The only printers that gives me problems here are hp printers. Other printers we have here gave me no problem at all.
For a deskjet 5800 I had to use the linux driver (foomatic/hpijs) and load the adobe ps driver, its windows driver would upload fine (in samba 3.0.10, the same error as you with samba 2.2.8) but then give plenty of exceptions on the windows client (to the point that I had *no* way to access the printer or remove it: I had to do it on the server using rpcclient).
I hadn't really noticed any problems with drivers until I came across this problem, because most of our printers are relatively old (LJ 4000) and the drivers worked. But since we got a couple of Laserjet 4200tn and 4250tn it's been extremely frustrating.
I did manage to make it take the LJ4200tn driver on a different server running 3.0.10, but I did have this exact problem for a while on there. I must have just done something by accident and it just worked. That's why I thought there may be a trick.
But other drivers do work so I don't think I'm doing anything wrong..
