btw, what strikes me as odd:

who on earth gives samba the idea to look for a file named '_' within
the driver?? cant find that in the control file of the imprints package
I made, and not in the INF file from HP.
Uh btw it doesn't work with ANY driver I try to install. Does work if I
install the drivers from a Win2k client, but that's totally out of the
question because the installation here is just a test bed for handling
some 60-odd printers on some 30-odd samba servers WITHOUT having to
hassle with the point-drool-and-click interface... rather script it...
:)
