[Samba] 2.2.3a printing problems: no printing from Word, spools taking up all CPU on clients

[Steven Mackenzie]

Thanks Dave,

I have W32X86/2 and W32X86/3 directories. The type 2 has drives for the
Epson on the parallel port and our networked HP, and the type 3 directory
only has drivers for the Epson.

I'll take the opportunity to see if it makes any difference which printer I
use before I try to upload more HP drivers.

Uploading the original set (with 2.2.1 server from Windows client) was
painful, and I ended up with corrupt drivers on the server when I did it the
first time, so I'm a little cautious to try it again ...

And the printing worked fine with the previous server version, and Windows
2000 is supposed to be able to use the NT drivers ... :(
