Automatic Printer driver downloading for Win NT in samba 2.2.1a

[Sreenidhi R Iyangar]

Hi

Beginning with 2.2.0 release samba supports native Windows NT printing
mechanisms. This includes
support for automatic printer driver download. (As documented in 2.2.0
release note). I have gone through printer_driver2.html in the samba docs.

For printer driver sharing we have to put entries in [print$]. But the doc
says parameters "printer driver location", "printer driver" will be
depreciated in futer version. and it suggests not to use them.

My main aim is **automatic printer driver download for NT and 2K** machines.
What parameters should be used in smb.conf for automatic printer driver
download for Win NT machines? Can we use "printer driver location", "printer
driver" . Please tell me how to configure? Is it possible to make the
downloading without any user intervention?

Thanks, Sreenidhi
