samba - Mar 2001 - A Question on printer sharing

Hello all,

I am new to the Samba arena. I am using samba release 2.2.0-alpha3. I am
only using Samba for printer services on a Mandrake 7.2 Linux box.

I was able to create the printer share (PRINT$) and it answers to
\\printfarm but what I haven't been able to figure out is how do I install
the print drivers on the samba server so that when someone connects to the
share it installs the driver for them. This worked in 2.0.6 release of
samba. Am I missing something?

Thanks in advance.

See docs/Samba-HOWTO-Collection.pdf and read the chapter on Printing
under Samba 2.2.x
