Hi all, I'm having trouble persuading Windows 2000 to find the print driver on a CUPS/Samba 3.0.20 server. The whole system has been working perfectly with Windows XP clients for the last couple of months, but we have a few Windows 2000 PCs/servers that need to have the printers installed, and when double-clicking on a shared printer the Win2K machines are saying that the print server doesn't have the correct driver installed. I'm using the Adobe PS driver and I can't for the life of me work out why it's working for XP but not Win2K - does anyone have any ideas? Thanks. Adam.

[Samba] Win2K cannot retrieve print driver, XP is okay
