+    <para>This parameter is only applicable to <smbconfoption name="printable"/> services.
+    When smbd is serving Printer Drivers to Windows NT/2k/XP clients, each printer on the Samba
+    server has a Device Mode which defines things such as paper size and
+    orientation and duplex settings.  The device mode can only correctly be
+    generated by the printer driver itself (which can only be executed on a
+    Win32 platform).  Because smbd is unable to execute the driver code
+    to generate the device mode, the default behavior is to set this field
+    to NULL.
+    </para>
+
+    <para>Most problems with serving printer drivers to Windows NT/2k/XP clients
+    can be traced to a problem with the generated device mode.  Certain drivers
+    will do things such as crashing the client's Explorer.exe with a NULL devmode.
+    However, other printer drivers can cause the client's spooler service
+    (spoolsv.exe) to die if the devmode was not created by the driver itself
+    (i.e. smbd generates a default devmode).
+    </para>
+
+    <para>This parameter should be used with care and tested with the printer
+    driver in question.  It is better to leave the device mode to NULL
+    and let the Windows client set the correct values.  Because drivers do not
+    do this all the time, setting <command moreinfo="none">default devmode = yes</command>
+    will instruct smbd to generate a default one.
+    </para>
