[Samba] install_printer_drivers.pl and 2.2.4 issues

[Brian Payst]

Hello -
	I've been working on getting ready to cut our 60+ Samba servers over
from the old style printers.def approach to the new printer drivers
databases. However, I'm have a hard time uploading the packages onto the
server using the install_printer_drivers.pl script from Imprints 0.0.9b.
	To make sure I wasn't packaging them wrong I used the
imprints.sourceforge.org server to get the pacakges, but I get the same
error as for my roll-your-own versions.


Samba version: 2.2.4-2
OS: RedHat Linux 7.2

Here's the console output

a level 10 log shows this in the client log:

relevant smb.conf:

[print$]
        path = /home/config/print
        guest ok = Yes
        browseable = Yes
        read only = No
        write list = root
[test]
        printable = yes
        gueat OK = yes
        comment = test printer
        printer name = testLaser
        path = /var/spool/samba


However, when Windows 2000 clients connect they do not download the
drivers nor recognize the printer model. The files are uploaded to
print$/W32X86/2/

Any help would be greatly appreciated (stopping my head from banging
into the desk repeatedly will do wonders for me).

Thanks.
