The driver for HP 4650 downloaded from hp.com wouldn't install through 
APW. I also tried doing it through rpcclient which worked so much as I 
followed every step in the Samba guide for it with no errors, but 
Windows XP wasn't able to download the driver files from the Samba server.

I am not too keen on downgrading, as I am setting up a domain that needs 
to be Windows 7 compatible.

I did some more testing today with the postscript drivers and it seems 
there is a "reference" for gyldendal somewhere which screws things up 
because if I name the queue differently (same .ppd etc) everything works :S

I tried deleting every reference to it from the Windows registry as well 
as in Samba, as far as deleting the 3 .tdb files in /var/lib/samba 
before reinstalling but it is still impossible to have a printer called 
gyldendal.

Are there any other files besides the 3 nt*.tdb which hold information 
about printers I could delete?

Thanks,
