[Samba] setting drivers?

[Anderson, Phil]

Hi!

I'm trying to set drivers for printers such that they will automatically
download onto winNT/W2K clients. I've followed the instructions in
printer_drivers2.html (I'm using samba 2.2.5). my questions:

-do I have to define each printer individually in smb.conf? I know you do
for the "old" style of printing, the style that didn't work with NT or W2K.
here's what I have now:

-->snip
[global]
 -->snip
printer admin = panderson
 -->snip

[print$]
        path = /usr/local/samba/printers
        guest ok = yes
        browseable = yes
        read only = yes
        write list = panderson,root

[printers]
  comment = All Printers
  path = /var/spool/lpd
   browseable = yes
   guest ok = yes
   writable = no
   printable = yes
   print command = /usr/bin/lpr -r %s
   printing = BSD
   public = yes
   printer = hp5
   browseable = yes
   read only = yes

[hp5]
    path = /var/spool/lpd/hp5
    printable = yes
    print command = /usr/bin/lpr -r -P%p %s
    printer = hp5
    printing = BSD
    guest ok = yes
    public = no
    browseable = yes

[hp4050_hr]
    path = /var/spool/lpd/hp4050_hr
    printable = yes
    print command = /usr/bin/lpr -r -P%p %s
    printer = hp4050_hr
    printing = BSD
    guest ok = yes
    public = no
    browseable = yes

-I read the paragraph in printer_driver2.html as follows:

[==begin paste==]
Once you have created the required [print$] service and associated
subdirectories, simply log onto the Samba server using a root (or printer
admin) account from a Windows NT 4.0/2k client. Open "Network Neighbourhood"
or "My Network Places" and browse for the Samba host. Once you have located
the server, navigate to the "Printers..." folder. You should see an initial
listing of printers that matches the printer shares defined on your Samba
host.
Setting Drivers for Existing Printers
The initial listing of printers in the Samba host's Printers folder will
have no real printer driver assigned to them. By default, in Samba 2.2.0
this driver name was set to NO PRINTER DRIVER AVAILABLE FOR THIS PRINTER.
Later versions changed this to a NULL string to allow the use tof the local
Add Printer Wizard on NT/2000 clients. Attempting to view the printer
properties for a printer which has this default driver assigned will result
in the error message:
Device settings cannot be displayed. The driver for the specified printer is
not installed, only spooler properties will be displayed. Do you want to
install the driver now?
Click "No" in the error dialog and you will be presented with the printer
properties window. The way assign a driver to a printer is to either
*	Use the "New Driver..." button to install a new printer driver, or

I'm connecting from a NT4 client. My samba server never asks me for a
password, and I've done everything I know (map the server with a different
username, etc) and I can't get the server to ask me for a password. This is
a problem, because when I right-click on the printers (on the samba host
through winNT), I can't set drivers for them, as the options are all grayed
out (due to lack of permissions.) My username is in the smbpasswd file, and
I know it authenticates right, because I can get access to my home dir
through the samba share. I just can't get the printers share mapped with a
different username (mapping \\hostname\print$ works, but mapping
\\hostname\printers raises a "network name not found" error.) 

I've been working on this for numerous hours, and I don't know why it's
happening. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,
