[Pkg-samba-maint] Bug#819302: samba: Some printers no longer work after upgrade from Wheezy - GUID issues

[Rik Theys]

Package: samba
Version: 2:4.1.17+dfsg-2+deb8u2
Severity: important
Tags: patch

Hi,

After upgrading our print server from Wheezy to Jessie, windows clients
can no longer connect to some of our printers. These printers have
drivers available on the print server.

The following error is logged for each printer that has this issue.

[2016/03/26 10:06:23.845600,  0] ../source3/printing/nt_printing_ads.c:116(nt_printer_guid_get)
  Failed to get GUID for printer ev-ricoh-c2003
[2016/03/26 10:06:23.846099,  0] ../source3/rpc_server/spoolss/srv_spoolss_nt.c:4858(_spoolss_GetPrinter)
  _spoolss_GetPrinter: failed to construct printer info level 7 - WERR_BADFILE

This issue is described in the following samba bug report and this bug
report has a patch attached that should fix this bug.

https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11018

The bug report also contains a workaround to fix this manually.

Please consider applying the upstream patch to the debian package.

Regards,

Rik
