I am still hoping that someone might have an answer to my problem, as
stated below. Since my last post I have tried the all windows OS
versions bundle driver from HP. It apparently installed, the
printer property panel, sharing, additional drivers showed all
drivers as installed (X86), but on the server actually only
windows2k/Xp was present. In addition any computer which installed
the printer now crashed explorer.exe every time a printing
operation was tried. So I erased the drivers, and uninstalled the
printer in winXP, and tried with default devmode = yes. Now printing
doesnt cause crashing, but the printer property in windowsXP still shows
all drivers installed, and still the win95/98 drivers are actually not
there. I have included my previous post below, FYI.

When trying to add the drivers downloaded extracted from HP
(lj456ps.inf from lj632en.exe) I get the following message:
Unable to install HP LaserJet 5P/5MP Postscript, Windows NT 4.0 or 200,
Intel driver. Operation could not be completed.
I also tried installing win95/98 drivers. In this case some files are
copied but then I get the equivalent of the above message for 95/98.
I am adding them from a windows XP machine. I am loggin onto the samba
shares with my account which is in the staff group on the server.
When I try to change some settings in the properties, like hold
mismatched documents I get an access denied error message.
Ive set up my smb.conf like this (relevant lines only):
[global]
printer admin = @staff
[print$]
path = /var/prndrv
guest ok = no
browseable = yes
read only = yes
write list = @staff
/var/prndrv looks like this
drwxrwxr-x2 root staff4096 Mar 2 03:07 W32ALPHA
drwxrwxr-x2 root staff4096 Mar 2 03:08 W32MIPS
drwxrwxr-x2 root staff4096 Mar 2 03:08 W32PPC
drwxrwxr-x2 root staff4096 Mar 2 05:18 W32X86
drwxrwxr-x2 root staff4096 Mar 1 20:43 WIN40
and /var/prndrv itself has same ownership/permissions.
I am using samba 2.2.5.
The host specific log noodless.log (noodless is the win client i use to
add the drivers from), shows no error messages. It does give a lot of
messages, too much to quote here, but none of them are informative to me.
Help would be appreciated
