samba - Nov 2002 - Yet another print-driver download problem...

I've gotten driver-downloads to work from WinNT/2K clients, but I still
can't seem to figure out how to get things to work with Win9x clients.

Here's a copy of my smb.conf file:

***********
    [global]
       printing = lprng
       printcap name = /etc/printcap
       log level = 1
       load printers = no
       guest account = nobody
       security = domain
       workgroup = EXAMEN3
       server string = %h (Samba %v)
       syslog only = no
       syslog = 0;
       socket options = IPTOS_LOWDELAY TCP_NODELAY SO_SNDBUF=4096 SO_RCVBUF=4096
       encrypt passwords = yes
       wins support = no
       wins server = smbauth.examen.com
       password server = smbauth.examen.com
       dns proxy = no
       preserve case = yes
       short preserve case = yes
       unix password sync = false
       max log size = 1000

    [print$]
	comment = Print Drivers
	path = /var/samba/drivers
	browseable = yes
	read only = yes
	guest ok = yes
	write list = root,@ntadmin
	create mode = 0755

    [enzo]
	comment = HP LaserJet 6L
	browseable = yes
	printable = yes
	printer = lp
	public = yes
	writable = no
	guest ok = yes
	create mode = 0700
***********

Any ideas?

Hi

 This is how I did it, maybe there are better solutions, but it worked for
me
>From a WinNT/2000/XP client log in as a root equivalent user, go to the
 Printers share of your Unix box right click the desired printer
 select properties->sharing ->printer drivers and check Win95/98/Me
option.
 When asked about the drivers provide the correct location, and that's all.
 Before you start doing this check that you have /var/samba/drivers/WIN40
 (for 9x/Me drivers) , not just /var/samba/drivers/WIN32X86 (used for
 NT/2000/XP drivers)

 Good Luck
