[Pkg-samba-maint] Bug#566140: samba: Point'n'Print does not work with 3.4 anymore

[Jörg Ludwig]

Package: samba
Version: 2:3.4.3-1~bpo50+2
Severity: important


We run a samba domain controller with a shared printer. When one of the windows clients accesses this printer the first time, it should automatically install the appropriate driver stored on the samba server (Point'n'Print). This works fine with samba 3.0 (etch) and 3.2 (lenny). It does not work with 3.4.3 (lenny-backports) or 3.4.4 (unstable) with we need for windows 7.

Error message in windows is:
"Auf dem Server für den Drucker 'samba' ist nicht der notwendige Druckertreiber installiert. [...]"
With means: The necessary print driver is not installed on the server for the printer 'samba'.

Print driver share from /etc/samba/smb.conf:
