Description Sean Ryan 2013-12-23 17:42:10 UTC
I share my network printers via Samba/CUPS,and I use the Point n' Print method to deploy my drivers.  I'm able to upload, download, and print without issue, but I first have to go through 5 repeated steps to get the HP printer (4515X) working correctly.  This issue happens with any HP Model, and with any Samba version from 3.6.3 - 3.6.22 

Here are the x86 drivers (PCL5,PCL6,PS):

http://h20566.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/template.PAGE/public/psi/swdHome/?sp4ts.oid=3558895&spf_p.tpst=swdMain&spf_p.prp_swdMain=wsrp-navigationalState%3DswEnvOID%253D4062%257CswLang%253D%257Caction%253DlistDriver&javax.portlet.begCacheTok=com.vignette.cachetoken&javax.portlet.endCacheTok=com.vignette.cachetoken

Here are the x64 drivers (PCL5,PCL6,PS): 

http://h20566.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/template.PAGE/public/psi/swdHome/?sp4ts.oid=3558895&spf_p.tpst=swdMain&spf_p.prp_swdMain=wsrp-navigationalState%3DswEnvOID%253D4063%257CswLang%253D%257Caction%253DlistDriver&javax.portlet.begCacheTok=com.vignette.cachetoken&javax.portlet.endCacheTok=com.vignette.cachetoken

You can do the following to reproduce the bug:

1. Upload the print drivers above using the Point n Print method found here:

https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba_as_a_print_server

2. Double Click on the Shared printer to download the driver(s) via: \\netbiosnameofsambaserver\printersharedname- *You can use any version of Windows 7 (x86/x64) UPD driver (PCL5,PCL6,PS)*

3. Right click on the shared printer you just added to your Windows 7 (x86/x64) client machine and go to the shared Printer Properties. (You can go to the Start Button > Up to the White Box > type in:control printers to view your shared printers)

At this point you'll be prompted with a Window that states Windows Explorer has stopped working with the following error:

The Printer Properties dialog will fail repeatedly until the 5th time.  Then it works as normal. 

I also have a Canon printer (iR ADV 5235) shared and it works without error using the following drivers(PS3_v21.05_INF.zip 9/19/13) for x86, or x64):

This is a packet capture between the client and the server.

Server = 192.168.30.10
Client = 192.168.30.51
Shared Printer = HP_4515X

The files "failure1-4" are generated when I right click on the shared printer of "HP_4515X" on my client and go to "Printer Properties" which then causes Windows x86, or Windows x64 client using any driver (PCL5/PCL6/PS) to cause explorer.exe crash 4 times in a row.  After I try to view the "Printer Properties" on the 5th time everything works as normal.  

It seems as though the client does not request the XcvPort Samba Printer Port until the 5th time.

Is anyone actually reading these reports?
Comment 5 Sean Ryan 2014-03-17 20:44:25 UTC
HP updated their PS and PCL6 drivers to the following version:

5.8.0.17508 (31 Jan 2014)

I can now view the "Printer Properties" using either PS, or PCL6 drivers.
Comment 6 Andreas Schneider 2014-04-04 12:25:02 UTC
I can't see why we are responsible for crashes in Windows.

So after updating the Driver it is fixed now?

Yes its fixed now.  The printer driver that I used earlier, when used with *samba* as a shared printer caused my windows boxes to crash.  I even replicated the bug. Your bug guidelines state the following "No bug is too trivial to report - small bugs may hide big bugs" Silly me for thinking this might be a good place to post this bug.
Comment 8 Jeremy Allison 2014-04-04 20:05:53 UTC
Sorry for your bad experience. Yes, no bug is too small to not report.

Glad it's working now !

Jeremy.
