Print Driver version recognition

[Vopni, Jim]

I have a question regarding how samba determines the OS version of a driver
being installed.
It is using a function called get_correct_cversion() in nt_printing.c

We have run across a number of drivers that are installed incorrectly.
Samba is recognizing 
the driver as 2000 when if fact it is a NT4 driver.    In all cases the
version of the Driver file
is 0.2.0.0 but the code in get_correct_cversion()  does not look for this
version string.

It seems, at least with the drivers we have been using, that the NT4 drivers
are versioned
0.2.0.0 , 2000 drivers are 0.3.0.0  and the 9x drivers are 0.0.0.0 (or not
versioned)

What is/was the reason for the current version determination?  Is the
version number
of the driver file not sufficient to determine what type it is?  We are
putting together a patch
to install based on this version number but there may be issues that we are
not aware of.
