[Pkg-samba-maint] Bug#611177: samba: printer device settings not saved for normal domain users

[Robert Sander]

Package: samba
Version: 2:3.5.6~dfsg-3
Severity: normal

Hi,

we currently experience the same issue as described here:

http://www.mail-archive.com/samba@lists.samba.org/msg106758.html

where printer settings done as printer admin on the samba print server
are not used as default by a normal client.

It does not matter which printer driver is used, the client always
see the defaults as standard settings and device configuration.

The causes some costs here as we want to use a color printer model as
a black&white printer with a second printer share. The black&white
printer setting is not honored by the clients and they still print in color.
