0x000003e6 Error When Printing from Windows 7 x64

[Matt LaPlante]

Binary package hint: samba

There exist some driver incompatibilities between Samba (3.4+) and Windows 7 x64. The driver is able to be installed successfully, but attempting to then connect to the printer (via Samba) produces Error code 0x000003e6 within Windows.

There does not appear to be a direct correlation with a specific Make or Model of printer, as it has been observed across multiple. It may sometimes be temporarily resolved by re-exporting or re-upload of the affected driver, but this has not been shown to be a permanent solution. The only known workaround is to downgrade to Samba 3.3.

A bug has been filed against Samba directly here: https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7567
