Server printer drivers?

[Herb Lewis]

What will now happen if you enable this as described in the
PRINTER_DRIVER.txt is this.

1. On Win95 client you select add printer and select a samba printer
2. Samba automaticall supplies the correct driver to Win95 (you
   no longer need to install the driver yourself).
