Printing from TDB

[James Sewell]

Hey,

We have recently upgraded to Samba 2.2.1.a and are having trouble with 
our printer setup when trying to use the TDB  method of storing 
printer/diver info.

I can load up rpcclient fine, and I see all my printers from smb.conf. 
That bit is as expected. I can load in a Win2K ("Windows NT x86") driver 
for a printer, then link the driver to the printer. That works fine too, 
the printer can be installed off a client. I can even script this 
translation to do the slurp from old printers to the TDB ... but that is 
irrelevant

However when I try to load up some Win95 drivers in rpcclient ("Windows 
4.0")  Win95 clients do not pick them up. I have tried

- Loading 2K, then 95 drivers with the same name then linking with setdriver
- Loading just 95 drivers then linking with setdriver
- Loading just 2K drivers then linking with setdriver

I think the problem is that 95 clients are not searching the TDB 
properly or some such. If I just have the 95 drivers, and I also have a 
legacy PRINTER$ stuff set up (printer driver etc...) then the drivers 
will load out of the PRINTER$ share. If I disable this share it will 
decide it doesn't know what to do and ask me to pick a driver.

Can Anyone help..... smb.conf is attached
