Setting up a Samba 2.2 Print Server.

[Marc Harding]

The problems occured from a Windows 2000 machine, which is the same machine 
from which I tested this on my home machine.  The biggest problem I am 
facing right now is that I can not even browse to a printer share and just 
install the driver manually to a windows 2000 machine.  That is when I 
receive the message saying that is it the wrong driver or OS.  This is the 
same case for PCL and PS, and the same for two different printers.

Another thing I noticed last time I tried starting clean, is that in the 
printer properties, there was no port defined, however on my test server I 
could see a port.

I hope this information is useful.
