Hi Willy,
I have always gotten the automatic driver download for NT.  I do it the same
way that win9x is handled, but with the ntprint.inf.  I then create the printer
def in the same way, copy the files as needed by the printer.def(in my case,
something like HP8150.ppd, PSCRIPT etc).  I set up the PRINTER share, and all is
well.
let me know if you have any problems.
As far as #2, I can't help you, but am interested in the outcome.
Good luck and Happy Holidays,
Adam

Hi,

We started with a new project, using a Linux samba as PDC.
Starting point is CVS samba_2_2 from 19/12/2000.
Samba PDC is working, but we have a few questions.

1. In the samba 2.2 faq- Status of print spool, is writen, that automatic
downloading of printer drivers for Windows NT client will be supported.
Is there somebody who knows how this can be done.

2. With NTtool User manager for domains we can see the accounts and groups
on the samba server.
	But when I want to make changes in the user account hours or logon to
settings I get "The groupname cound not be found." after I pushed OK. Is
there a solution to this problem or can we do this settings in a different
way. Not everybody may have the possiblity to have access on all machines.

Best regards
