Hi, the reason for this behaviour is probably in the printer drivers inf-file. Current drivers must 'decorate' models-section-name entries with a target platform extension. If the inf-files's manufacturer section has no entry for windows versions prior to XP (which is Version 5.1) it won't install on a Samba server, which has a windows version 5.0. You can try to manually tweak the inf-file. Try to google for "inf file syntax". I can't offer a general solution, cause inf-files can be quite complex. Maybe it works, if you replace every occurrence of "NTamd64.6.0" with "NTamd64.5.0".
