This morning I set up a linux box to test 2.2.7a on along with the HP printer 
drivers that have been giving me problems.

I followed the documentation for loading and "tickling" the printer drivers.

Initial tests were successful - the printer device settings downloaded for a 
non-printer admin user.

Looks like an issue where Solaris and samba do not play nice together.  Jerry, 
if you or the development team have something you want to test against Sun 
Solaris 9 let me know.  I need to get this resolved, but I don't know where to 
start looking for clues.
