Description Felix Botner

2013-11-07 14:09:43 CET

UCS 3.2 (AND UCS 3.1) with univention-samba4. Added a printer (file:/ protocol) in UCS and configured this printer on joined windows clients (8 and 8.1). The printer is available for printing and printing seems to work (no errors in windows), but on the printserver, there is nothing.

samba level 10 logs

The logs show "WERR_INVALID_DATATYPE" due to Windows 8 sending data of type "XPS_PASS" instead of "RAW". The message might originate from line 5748 of source3/rpc_server/spoolss/srv_spoolss_nt.c .

The issue might be caused by the v4 printer drivers of windows 8 (see e.g. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2779300 , which seems to be a different issue though). The behaviour of Windows 8 is a bit surprising as the Windows 8.1 registry shows:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Print\Printers\,,MEMBER43,printer7  -> Datatype: RAW

windows8_printer_driver_v4_XPS_PASS.patch

Maybe this patch is enough, untested.

I also guess that printing would work with an "old" (v3) printer driver installed from an inf file (instead of one from the windows8 native driver list). I would bet a drink, anyone to try?

The attached patch fixed the problem in my test domain.

Verified:
 * Print jobs send from a windows 8.1 client to a printer share accessed with client side drivers now actually passed by Samba to the CUPS backend.
 * Advisory OK.
