Source: samba Version: 2:3.5.6~dfsg-3 Severity: normal Tags: upstream Hi,
When a Windows 8 client requests a version 4 printer driver, and one is not available, Samba then tries to find a version 2 driver and skips out V3. When only V3 drivers are installed, this results in no useful offer to the client. The result is that Windows 8 clients are unable to connect using the Point and Print mechanism. Patches for Wheezy and Squeeze to follow. I loop down the available versions to find one to offer, even if it's not the version the client requested. This has the advantage of not needing another change if the requested version increases again in the future. More work would be needed to actually support version 4 drivers properly however. Our client confirmed that this solved the problem for them.
