samba - Nov 2002 - ADD Printerdriver to server through APW

Hi

I recently tried to install the printerdriver to the samba server (samba
3.0alpha30 on debian) from a windows 2000 client. 
The APW asked me for a Win2k-server cd for  the winnt drivers, although
i had them on a disc...which I don't have
2 Questions:
1) does anybody know why the APW will not accept my winnt driver from
the driver disc when i comes to install the winnt driver
2) is it possible to only install the win2k driver through APW(it didnt
give me a choice which operating systems to install the drivers for

If you look in the path that the computer puts into the dialog box, it is 
usually the path to the driver that you are installing, with some other 
stuff tacked onto the end of it after a double slash "\\". What I do
is
delete the second slash and the remainder of the path to the right, and the 
install then proceeds. I have not had any problems loading drivers into the 
server this way.

To install drivers for other OSs, goto the server in the network 
neighborhood, open the printers share. File-->Server Properties will get 
you a dialog window. There is a drivers tab there. Select "add" and
you
will get the choice as to which OS you are about to install a new driver 
for.
