[Pkg-samba-maint] Bug#395059: samba: Explorer.exe crash when opening printer properties dialogue

[Thomas Basler]

Package: samba
Version: 3.0.23c-2
Severity: important

When I use Samba to share my printer (Konica-Minolta 2300DL) and open the printer properties window (on Windows XP and
Windows 2003) I get very crazy values in the settings, e.g. scaling factor 34833 or Tab-Pages without text and so on.
I am using cups for printing. If I add the printer with the same driver but without samba (with cups specified as
http://<servername>/printername/) everything works very well. I get the right values.

As I can see, this issue is only with the driver for the Konica-Minolta 2300DL printer, but it works the last 1.5 years
without any problems.

If I commit the Printer Properties dialogue with OK my explorer.exe crash. (Unhandled Win32-Exception in explorer.exe
