I am using this version of samba TNG for my home network (a mixture of
FreeBSD, Win98 and Win2k machines.).

I would like to get printing working with Win2k.

/local/lib/NTprinter_<printername>. From the source I gather it is an
ascii file with lines of the form

	<attribute name>:<attribute value>

However - how do I create this file? Which attribute values should I
use? The file should be for an HP LaserJet 1100 printer.

I haven't been able to find any documentation that tells me how to
create this file. 

Thanks for your time,
Jacob.
