+ <para>This parameter is only applicable to <link linkend="PRINTOK">printable</link> 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.
+ </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. Because drivers do not
+ do this all the time, setting <command moreinfo="none">default devmode = yes</command>
+ will instruct smbd to generate a default one.

+ <para>This parameter applies only to Windows NT/2000
+ clients. It has no effect on Windows 95/98/ME clients. When

+ a valid printer driver on the Samba host, the client will be required

+ <para>The differentiating factor is that under normal

+ considers the printer to be local, it will attempt to issue the
+ OpenPrinterEx() call requesting access rights associated with the
