adding drivers to print$

[Peter Hurley]

I would suggest something akin to the information available at
http://samba.linuxbe.org/en/samba/learn/printing.html in the section
"Using the Add Printer Wizard" / "With an already existing printer
share".

I have found this link helpful on a number of occasions.  Also, might I
suggest a brief section on uploading manually.  My replies on this list
to "[Samba] print$ share problem URGENT - BUG" detail the steps
necessary to upload drivers manually (which is on occasion necessary --
see post).  (Although since I'm not yet running 3.0 yet, I can't vouch
for its applicability there).
