I'm having a tough time with printers. I dropped my printer drivers in a public 
SMB share on our Apple server, and I'm pointing the INF file there. However, 
every time the printer is installed on the client machine, I get an error that 
it can't find the drivers.

For example, I've got an XP workstation and it's supposed to get drivers for a 
Color LaserJet 3600. It seems to find the printer okay, but it can't find the 
drivers. 

The Printer Alias is \\apollo\LJ3600Lab, which is the share name on the print 
server

The Print INF File is \\apollo\Public\Printers\HPLJ3600\hpc3600e.inf 

If I put that INF File URL in the My Computer address bar on the client, the 
INF file opens in Notepad just fine. I don't seem to have any sharing issues as 
I'm able to read and write to the shared directory just fine. It's just the FOG 
Service that appears to not be able to get to the share. Note I've given the 
world read/write permissions to this share.

What am I missing?

Thanks,
