2.2.0 printing problems

Since upgrading Samba from 2.0.7 to 2.2.0 the "Add printer wizard" on
Windows 9x, Windows NT and Windows 2k no longer runs. Before when I
would choose to install a network printer I would get the familiar
message "The server on which ... does not have a suitable NULL printer
driver . . ." that would be followed by the Add Printer Wizard showing
two columns, manufacturers and printers. That has now been replaced with
a search for some inf file. The only way to add network printers is to
call them local. This eliminates the ability to find the printer in
network neighborhood and pick "install".

If this is the correct behavior in this release of Samba could somebody
tell me how to either configure Samba to use the Add Printer Wizard or
how to add the inf file it is requiring.

Thanks,
Bob Rohde
