I've just upgraded from Samba 2.0 (Debian 2.2 "potato") to Samba 2.2 (Debian 
3.0 "woody"), and I'm trying to get the print driver functionality working.

My test server is a Debian 3.0r1 system running Samba 2.2.3a. My test client 
is running Windows 2000 Professional SP1.

I'm following the procedure in the Samba-HOWTO-Collection, namely:

Browse to the Samba server
Open the Printers folder
Right-click a printer, select "Properties"
Click "No" when asked if I want to install a print driver
Advanced tab
"New Driver" button

If I don't have any printers installed on the client, I select the print 
driver from the list in the APDW and click "Finish." At this point, a dialog 
asking me for the Windows 2000 CD pops up. (Exact text: "Insert disk" "Please 
insert the Compact Disc labeled "Windows 2000 Server CD-ROM" into your CD-ROM 
drive (D:) and then click OK.")

It does not appear to be able to locate the correct driver files on the Win2k 
disc, and the process fails.

If I have already installed the printer (and installed a local print driver on 
the client), everything appears to work, except no driver is uploaded to my 
Samba server. It appears that the driver is (re-)installed on the client, 
instead of the server.

Windows XP SP1 seems to exhibit the exact same behavior.

I tried using Imprints next, but imprints.samba.org is dead, and 
imprints.samba.org doesn't seem to have any driver packages available.

What's going wrong?
