samba - Dec 2001 - Changing drivers for already installed printers

Greetings, All,
	
	I've run into an interesting problem with Samba 2.2.2 and dealing with 
printer drivers for Windows 2000.  I can install the drivers for nt4/2000 okay, 
I can install the drivers for win98 okay.  
	
	The part I thought was really neat was how I could set the printer 
options for Windows 2000 in the driver install so that when a user installed the
driver the correct printer options were already selected - things like paper 
tray assignments and installed accessories.
	
	So now the problem.  If I replace an existing printer with a new one, as 
I did in my lab - replaced an HP 5SI with an HP 8150 - and I changed the driver 
on the samba server from 5si to 8150, and set the options the way I wanted them.
 When the new driver gets downloaded to the client machine the correct driver is
downloaded, but the selected options are NOT set.  I've repeated this
several
times, same result each time, I get the "new" driver, but none of the
options
are set the way I want them.
	
	If I create a new printer - different name than before in samba - and 
install the printer driver as usual, then when it is downloaded to the client 
the options for the driver are set correctly.
	
	I can create new printers w/o a problem, I can change a printer driver 
and have the options take effect.
	
	Anyone know what is up with this?  How can I "clear" the currently 
associated driver on the samba side so I can start "fresh" with a
printer
driver?  I don't want to have to rename printers every time we swap a new
one
for an old printer.

I fixed some bug related teh ChangeID recently.  Can you try to reproduce
this against the latest SAMBA_2_2 cvs code and see if it is ok now?
