Ok, I think I have it pretty much figured out.

Yes, you do need the "printer driver" in each printer section.  And it must exactly
match up with what that drivers description in the *.inf file that you direct it
to.  Turns out all my problem printer models had a typo or some incorrect data on
this line.  Not sure if the "printer driver location" param is now needed or not,
but I have been putting "printer driver location=\\%h\print$" in each section.

The next problem, is how do you add drivers for other OS's if the description names
aren't the same?  As an example, an HP Laserjet 4M+.  In W2k its called "HP
LaserJet 4/4M Plus PS 300" and in Win98 its called "HP LaserJet 4/4M Plus PS"
