samba - Apr 2000 - Automatic Installation of Printer Drivers from Printer Share

Using Samba 2.0.6

Hi All,
 I have this working fine for Windows 95. I can double click on a printer share
and when prompted install the printer driver from the hidden share
\\%h\printer$.
It says all over the notes that this will only work under Windows 95, and will
not work for Windows NT. However looking in the archives of this group, I can
see that some people report Windows NT working if they copy the entire contents
of a Windows NT printer server share on to their samba server. Well I did this,
and
it works fine for Windows 95, but still doesn't work for Windows NT, it just
seems
that the files are not available. So whats the latest take on this? Does it work
with
NT? What's the secret of making it work if it does? (Incidentally this
refers to quite a recent
driver for a HP 4050N).

Thanks in advance,
Nicholas Waltham

Upgrade to Samba 2.0.8.  Oh, wait, they haven't even released 2.0.7
yet.  Well, when 2.0.8 *does* come out, NT printer driver support is
supposed to be in it....

Meanwhile, the HEAD branch of CVS code has this, if you don't mind a
little code instability.  See the web pages for how to download CVS
trees.
