Hello all!

I'm still not shure about the reason, but perhaps someone become an idea:

I think, the issue has something to do with the ChangeID of the printer.
I can reproduce the following behaviour:

1. Trying to make a clean install from Vista fails with thid "invalid paramenter" error (0x00000057) 2. If I change a registry value of this printer remotely from a different machine (XP client) => Vista installs the printer after that! 3. Now I change some default printer settings from the XP client (= set the devicemode) => 50-70% chance, that Vista will no longer install this printer from samba.
4. If I change some registry values again => installation succeeds.

I've seen strange ChangeId values (e.g. 0x7de4133e). Don't know where they are from.

Anyone, who sees a light with this information?

Bye,

Martin

Is anyone else seeing Vista (final) will not "connect" to a samba-hosted
printer? I'm getting error 0x00000057. I can connect to the port only
and install a local driver, though. It's just that the drivers will not load
correctly. The drivers do load partly, because I can see driver-specific
attributes if I go to "Properties" rather than "Connect". But a test print
from there fails also.


Samba server: Fedora Core 6 i386, samba-3.0.23c-2
Vista client, Vista Business (32-bit) final
Printer: HP LaserJet 4000 PCL6, driver from XP SP2.

The same printer served from a Windows 2003 server
will connect just fine to a Vista client.

Vista will connect to samba shared directories just fine.

Any ideas?

Pim
