You can find the printer PPD with names of their printer queue in the directory /etc/cups/ppd. With the program cupsaddsmb these PPDs are copied to $print folder and are publicly available. If you use also the CUPS Postscript driver the driver together with the PPDs can be downloaded to every Windows client using the printer installation wizard. So every user can install his own printer. Read the CUPS-Chapter in SAMBA-HowTo-Collection (in the SAMBA3-archive) for details

I want to have the installation automated on the server-side, so that the drivers for the specific printer are confirmed and installed on the Server. There's no problem to install a printer on a local PC. On WIN/NT I would like to have a program, like "adprintx.exe" (from www.jsifaq.com), where I can put these option "/c \\servername\printername /n "drivername" /s "driver_path". This adprintx.exe works fine and will put the desired printer on my local PC. Any hint on making it work on the Server-side as well?
