They were installed locally on the client machines (under Samba 2.0.x),
and after upgrading to 2.2.x, I'm not certain exactly what happened... it
worked just the same as it used to for some users and not for others
(there would be no printers at all, and they wouldn't be allowed to add
any).  We eventually installed a program (CON2PRT.EXE) that runs when
people login so that the printers would always be there, and as long as 
the printer is setup initially on the workstation it seems to work.

Printing.txt wasn't updated in 2.2.x, so I just assumed there were some 
bugs that you guys were working on and didn't give it much thought.  It 
never occured to me that this sort of behavior was desired.  ;)

So, how does one go about installing printer drivers with Samba then?
