Printer comment set on Win95 client

Is there any way to ensure that when a Win95 client installs a printer
via the 'automatic' double click method (with the PRINTER$ share) that
the comment field in the printer properties is set to something
meaningful (ie. ideally the same comment as specified in smb.conf).

Somehow I managed to get it working several samba versions ago (I
think 2.0.4?) on Redhat 5.2. After upgrading to Redhat 6.0 and
reinstalling samba 2.0.4b it stopped working. I am now trying samba
2.0.5a and still have no luck. Perhaps it was something with the
test machine I was using.

Is there any definate method or setting to set? I would appreciate
any suggestions also sent to my email address as well as this list.

Thanks in advance if anyone can help.
