samba - Jul 2002 - Specific PPD Files are not downloaded on an automatic installation

Hi there!
I am trying to get the samba cups integration to work.
After some fiddling I can now install the Adobe Postscript Printer driver
remotely.
Unfortunately Windows 98 clients (I haven't checked with NT,2000,XP yet)
only get the default ppd.
What is the proper naming convention for the ppd files? Currently we use the
printer DNS name pr100, pr101, pr102, ... Should the ppd files be named
according to the Name of the Printer within the ppd file: hplaserjet or
whatever?

i don't know if this could solve your problem as you don't give enough 
detail (did  you use cupsaddsmb? etc) but the description (lpadmin -D) you 
give when creating your printer in cups must match the nickname in your ppd 
file for the ppd to be recognized, copied to the proper location,  then 
downloaded automatically by your win clients
