[Pkg-samba-maint] Bug#601551: samba: Samba 3.5.6 (Squeeze) : Issues with Windows drivers settings

[Greg Auz]

Package: samba
Version: 2:3.5.6~dfsg-1
Severity: important
Tags: upstream

Since samba 3.4 there is an issue with driver settings :
- Opening setting on a driver take several seconds (annoying but not useless).
  This seems slow down the beginning of the printing.
- The more anoying part is that samba don't keep default settings set by sysadmin (Tray, Duplex, etc etc).
  We use a samba as a print server. We use A4 paper, but drivers will always request a Letter paper size because we can't change save default settings.
  Now user need, on every prints, to change their settings...

This issue is already known by samba team (https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6727).


Thank you all for the good work with samba, keep up with it ! :)
