samba - Feb 2002 - Samba 2.2.3 Windows Printer Drivers definitions

Hi,
I have a question about the assignment of printer drivers 
for windows
to my printers in printcap.

How do I configure a printer located in my printcap to be 
recognised 
by a windows pc as the right model?
Where is the mapping supposed to be saved?

I have RH 7.2, samba 2.2.3 and lprng running on a PPro 200 
Compaq.
My intention is that it will serv as a queue server for 
about 100 printers.

According to the Samba HOWTO Printing part
the parameter "printer driver", "printer driver locastion" 
and 	"printer driver file"
is not to be used in new installations.

According to the same howto I can use the "Add printer 
wizard" to upload drivers.
I have syccessfully uploaded drivers with the "Add printer 
wizard" I have also done it with 
rundll32 Printui.dll in windows.

I have tried to to use "Add printer wizard" and rpcclient 
to set the model.
The commands seam to work fine but the settings dont seam 
to be saved anywhere.

I think I have the right configuration.
I have no problem access file shares on the server with the 
right username
and there is no problem to do regular printing if I select 
the driver by hand
when I install it.

[global]
   load printers = yes
   printer admin = @staff

[printers]
   comment = All Printers
   path = /usr/spool/samba
   browseable = yes
   guest ok = no
   writable = no
   printable = yes

[print$]
    ; the directory below is writeable and 
    ; the dirvers get uploaded to that directory
    path = /usr/local/samba/printers
    guest ok = yes
    browseable = yes
    read only = yes
    write list = @staff

Need more details on this.  Which settings don't seem to be saved?
What driver?

I did my first XP install today.

I used the registry patch, created the machine account and had XP join the
domain. Worked fine!

But, when I went to login with a domain id it gave me the error that said
appoximately "domain not found or user id not found".  When I logged
in with
a local account, I was able to browse for the server and actually even
connect to it. I was able to login and even access the shares by manually
mapping the drives....

How do I fix this?

Thanks.

[root@tpol bin]# ./rpcclient skorpan -U user%pass -
c "setdriver AGLejon \"HP 2500C Series Printer\""

session setup ok
Domain=[GOTHENBURG] OS=[Windows 5.0] Server=[Windows 2000 
LAN Manager]
cmd = setdriver AGLejon "HP 2500C Series Printer"
setdriver AGLejon "HP 2500C Series Printer"
result was NT code 0xc0000709

I have tested several drivers and they all give me the same 
result. 
The command looks like it works but the printer still 
reports not to have a driver installed when I want to 
install it on a windows printer.

I get the same result when I use addprinterwizard to add a 
printer with its drivers.

Hope this will give you a clue.
