I would imagine it would be no different than if the Windows client got no
'printer driver' string at all, specifically, a 'Where do I find this
driver' dialog box appears.
Anyway, in the spirit of smb.conf, it would of course be configurable!
printcap comment drivername hack = yes
I'm still looking through the code to see if this is something I, myself,
can handle. I fear it may be a bit over my head, not being a C programmer.
But hey, how does one learn if one never tries?
