hi,
using SAMBA 2.2.0 or higher you need to define something like:
[print$]
path = /usr/spool/lp/samba/printers
write list = lp
read only = Yes
guest ok = Yes
browseable = Yes
which is the place where SAMBA will store the driver,
'/usr/spool/lp/samba/printers' must contain a directory W32X86 for the
NT/W2K driver. You can than use a NT desktop to install the driver, logged
on as printer admin, using the 'new driver' function on the 'printer
definiton' card from the queue window. Read the PRINTING README from your
SAMBA distribution for further details...
regards
