Hello,

Just an update regarding Vista vs. Samba:

It appears, that the problem is, that the driver on the Samba server
does not contain any "dependent files".
In this case, Samba returns an empty string in a DRIVER_INFO_3 response.
This behaviour is different to XP - and different to what the msdn
states (NULL or a list of *two* empty strings).
XP returns a NULL pointer. Vista reacts on the malformed struct with a
0x0000000d error (Invalid data) and stops the printer installation.

I don't think, it's critical since the most (if not all) real-live
drivers actually do have dependent files. The driver in this case have
been installed via rpcclient and self-compiled.

Attached is a text representation of a wireshark trace as proof.

Bye,

Martin
