Hi, first of all i'm sorry for my english.

I don't know if this is a Cups problem or maybe a Samba problem, but I'm
trying to use the Driver Autointall feature of Cups and is impossible with
a Xerox Printer.

I'm using a Debian 8 Jessie Server with a Samba 4.1.17 as member of a Samba
Domain. That server is using Cups 1.7.5.
I've installed 10 printers in that server using RAW as driver and i'm
trying to deploy that printers through GPO. I've used the "Print
Management" from RSAT to install all the drivers in the CUPS servers and it
worked fine for 9 of the 10 printers (HP and Ricoh printers), but the only
Xerox printer that i've is giving me a lot of problems.

If I install the driver in the server and I connect to printer then the
client try to install the driver and fails with a "No printer processor
avaible" error, but if I disable the server driver and install the driver
manually in client then it works perfectly.
I've tried a Windows Server 2003 machine to test and it worked fine, then
it should be a driver problem with cups or samba, but I don't know what can
be.

If I use another model PPD instead RAW in cups and a Ricoh driver in
client, then all works perfect but I loose some functionalities like for
example bypass tray.

Someone knows anything about this?

Thanks!!
