samba - Jul 1999 - Samba Auto-Install Printers Limitation

It looks to me that Samba can only autoinstall print drivers for 95/98,
not NT workstations?

I have about a 70/30 mix of NT and 95 clients, and if I am to use Samba for
printing I need to have it auto install drivers for 95 or NT.

Am I missing something or is this just a limitation of Samba?

Thanks!

Steve

NT and 9x use different methods for implementing this.  The 
code for supporting driver installation on NT has been 
implemented in the HEAD branch and is being debugged now.
Expect in 2.1 (no time frame right now).
