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. - </para> - - <para>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). - </para> - - <para>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.
