samba - Jun 2003 - 2.2.8a, printer driver download: need to use setdriver

Hello

I'm setting up the automatic printer driver download feature, and it works
nicelly except for one little thing: I have to use, on the samba machine,
rpcclient's setdriver command to associate a printer with its driver.

I didn't see this requirement in the Samba howto, it only mentions setdriver
as a way to speed up large installations. Am I missing something? Should
windows make this association automatically when it uploads the driver to
the samba [print$] share?

By using "setdriver drivername printername"...

This is in the new 3.0 HOWTO very explicitely.

Most of the printing chapter applies to 2.2.x too....
