Automatic printer driver installation for NT4.0/NT2000 clients?
Dear All, I've seen the PRINTER_DRIVER.txt doc on getting the PRINTER$ share set up to automatically add printer drivers to Win95 clients. It explicitly says that the procedure described does not work for NT4.0 clients. I can't find any other documentation on setting up a PRINTER$ share suitable for NT4.0 or NT2000 clients either in the distribution (2.0.5a) or the web site. Is this possible at the moment (2.0.5a)? If so how? If not when will it be possible? Thanks, -- Chris Stacey Senior Systems Engineer (ITS), Motorola Communications Enterprise Tel: +44 (0)1793 565142 Fax: +44 (0)1793 565419 mailto: chris.stacey@motorola.com -- "Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe." -- Albert Einstein

I'm reasonably sure there is some code for this in cvs, but it's certainly not ready for prime time. NT's native network printing actually works quite differently to 95's, so it'll probably be a while. A pain isn't it :-)>Dear All, > >I've seen the PRINTER_DRIVER.txt doc on getting the PRINTER$ share set up to >automatically add printer drivers to Win95 clients.
