[Samba] Adding Printer Drivers for existing Printers (Win2000, WinNT x86)

[Reinhard Brandstädter]

Wohaaa...!!
I finally managed it!

I had to use the correct driver for this model. HP offers 2 different
drivers for this printer model which work fine when using in native,
local printing. but when i tried the "HP LaserJet 6L PCL5e Driver" it
worked. The other driver refused uploading...don't know why but it does.

Maybe anyone can tell me....

So just for any others I used this driver:
