samba - May 2004 - CUPS - problems changing printing pref. on Win XP

Hello

Hope I can get some help on printing problems.
I have samba 3.0.0-15 as a PDC and printer server for
a small netwrok - Win98, XP and 2000.
I installed printer drivers on my server using cups
1.1.20 (and ghostscript ESP 7.07) but I have a few
problems with the clients. XP downloaded the drivers,
I can print but I can´t change printing preferences on
this machine. When I tried to see them I received an
error: ´Function address 0x6a90450e caused a
protection fault. (exception code 0xc0000005).Some or
all property page(s) may not be displayed.´ I searched
an answer to this problem but all I found was that I
should delete printer and driver form XP client,
reboot and install them again. But it didn´t work...
For Win 2000 it´s even worse. I can´t install the
driver because the same error message appers the
moment I click on printer on samba share. 
Could anyone help me with an answer? 

Thanks in advance, 
Adina

Known bug in 3.0.0.  Suggest you upgrade.

	I hate to contradict a Samba developer, but I think you might be using the CUPS
generic PostScript Windows drivers, which has a know fault.

	They hoping to put out a replacment driver soon ...

Maybe this too but there was a EnumPrinterDataEx()
bug in 3.0.0 that misaligned the data and killed explorer.
SO I would at least upgrade Samba to remove one of the
variables when tracking this down.

Thanks for the ups information though.  Good to know.

Thank you for the info. I already upgraded samba to
3.0.4 version but I dont´t want to use cups again
unless I have a hope that error wont come up again.

Since the new cups win driver 6.0 will be released in
a few weeks and I don´t have much time, could you
please recommend me some other cups drivers? Because
yes, I am using cups windows drivers 5.0rc3... I want
to use ADOBE only for 98 clients, for XP and 2000 I
hope is a better solution.

Thanks, 
Adina
