Problem uploading printer drivers

[Kris Jordan]

I'm having the same trouble, I have found other ways to install the 
printer driver, but have yet to get a complete installation that works. 
By using the add new printer icon I can get a driver installed if I 
delete the printer out of printcap, then add it again at the right time, 
I forget the exact steps. I thought maybe it had to be something with 
Win2k thinking Samba is lanman, since win2k was installed when I had 
samba 2.0, never figured out what reg settings needed to be deleted 
though, I'm just going to do a reinstall of win2k today and see if that 
helps.
