Hmmm...This means that using the design currently in
place in HEAD, user's cannot **just** distribute
Win9x drivers for clients. An Admin must also install
WinNT drivers even if there are no NT clients.
This means that 2.0.7 is able to do something HEAD
cannot.

ok. Here are some possible scenarios...
1) Admin wants to install only a WinNT driver.
No problem. Can install a 9x driver
later by specifying the printer name to
install the driver for.
2) Admin wants to install NT & 9x drivers.
No problem again. Follow the same step as
in #1
3) Admin wants ot install Windows 9x driver only.
Stumped....
Thoughts?

Good question. I'll check on it.
