Hello everyone,
I've got a Xerox Work Centre 5735 that I'm printing to via Samba. When I
install the drivers on a client (using the right-click-Connect method) from the
samba shared printer then the install goes smoothly but I can't load the
Printing Preferences dialogue for that printer, I get an Operation could not
be completed error. This same error does not occur when I install the same
printer on the same workstation - but this time from a Windows 2003 server
instead of the Samba server. Even when I have both the samba and Windows
Server 2003 printers side-by-side this problem exists for one but not the other.
Upon further investigation I see that there are sub keys of:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Print\Providers\LanMan Print
Services\w2k3server\Printers\XeroxWorkCentre5735PS
Namely: PnPData, PrinterDriverData, PrintProcCacheData,
And these keys don't exist under the equivalent
\sambaserver\Printers\XeroxWorkCentre5735PS key.
I've tried merging the missing keys (and missing values from DsSpooler
PrinterDriverData) from one to the other but the extra keys are blown away as
soon as I do anything with the samba server's printer.
Since the Xerox Printing Preferences dialogue looks pretty custom, I suspect
that there are classes, controls etc. that are registered by a Windows -
Windows driver delivery that don't get done with a Samba - Windows delivery.
If anyone has any advice, a work around etc. any help would be much
appreciated. Thanks!
Beau
