[Pkg-cups-devel] Bug#614090: confirmed -- on Squeeze and also on Mandriva 2010.2

[Paolo Saggese]

Hi,

I can confirm every bit of this report!

I too have tried to manually run the failing rpcclient 
command and can confirm that removing the "NULL" entry 
( 's/PPD:NULL:ADOBEPS4.HLP:/PPD:ADOBEPS4.HLP/' ) makes
it work just fine.

It looks like cupsaddsmb should not add that "NULL". 

Why does it? 

Is there some other (missing) file which cupsaddsmb 
expects to find?

Anyway, it should be easy to fix. 

I guess this is an upstream bug: I've seen the exact 
same problem and behaviour also on a Mandriva 2010.2.

Sometimes I've also got other different errors instead 
of "INVALID_PARAM", which made debuggin quite painful. 
In some cases, I've got smb process to PANIC and crash, 
resulting in BROKEN_PIPE errors.

FYI, these were the versions of the related software 
installed on that Mandriva box:

samba-common-3.5.3-3.3mdv2010.2
samba-server-3.5.3-3.3mdv2010.2
samba-client-3.5.3-3.3mdv2010.2

libcups2-1.4.3-3.1mdv2010.1
cups-1.4.3-3.1mdv2010.1
cups-common-1.4.3-3.1mdv2010.1

(I guess you know which versions are in Squeeze... :-)


Ciao,
                                Paolo.
