Hi Jerry,
I just went through Samba-HOWTO-Collection.pdf and am going to try
'tickling' the driver to save a devmode. Thanks for the pointer Jerry.
Also, I uploaded my drivers using the same process on a HP 4200 Print
Server Appliance which runs Samba too. I do not remember tickling anything
to set the devmode on the server , but I can still get devmode through my
program. I guess I need to verify this again.
regards,
Rohit.

Rohit,
Setting the devmode requires that the driver be executed (which
samba can't do). Please read the Printing section regarding this in
http://samba.org/samba/docs/Samba-HOWTO-Collection.pdf

Yes. I know exactly of the problem which you speak. :-)
