[Samba] printer driver installation yet again (as if anyone here cared...)

Hi,
got a samba server which serves tons of printers. ok, 70. With some of
them, driver installation from a win2k client works, with some it
doesnt. printers are ALL configured the same in smb.conf:
[(name in unix printing system)]
comment = model of printer
path = /tmp
printable = yes
browseable = yes
for example:
[ljwasat]
comment = Hewlett Packard LaserJet 4000 N
path = /tmp
printable = Yes
[ljwega]
comment = Hewlett Packard LaserJet 4050 N
path = /tmp
printable = Yes
now comes the trick part: when I go to 'new driver' in the printer
properties dialogbox for ljwega and set a new driver, driver gets
uploaded to samba server. when I do the same for ljwasat, the driver is
installed locally.
any hints?
in fact, does anybody READ this?
bye
MH
