+\fBdefault devmode (S)\fR
+This parameter is only applicable to printable services. When smbd is serving
+Printer Drivers to Windows NT/2k/XP clients, each printer on the Samba
+server has a Device Mode which defines things such as paper size and
+orientation and duplex settings. The device mode can only correctly be
+generated by the printer driver itself (which can only be executed on a
+Win32 platform). Because smbd is unable to execute the driver code
+to generate the device mode, the default behavior is to set this field
+to NULL.
+
+Most problems with serving printer drivers to Windows NT/2k/XP clients
+can be traced to a problem with the generated device mode. Certain drivers
+will do things such as crashing the client's Explorer.exe with a NULL devmode.
+However, other printer drivers can cause the client's spooler service
+(spoolsv.exe) to die if the devmode was not created by the driver itself
+(i.e. smbd generates a default devmode).
+
+This parameter should be used with care and tested with the printer
+driver in question. It is better to leave the device mode to NULL
+and let the Windows client set the correct values. Because drivers do not
+do this all the time, setting \fBdefault devmode = yes\fR
+will instruct smbd to generate a default one.
