[Samba] downloaded win98 print drivers fail in Samba 3.0

Tue Dec 16 13:32:45 GMT 2003

The issue was a bug in the PrintPro "export" function of "printers", 
their printer/CUPS setup utility.  The solution (from the PrintPro 
support group) was to use

   cupsaddsmb -v -U root PRINTERNAME

PrintPro says their "export" function will be fixed next release.
