I'm still struggling with trying to get a new printer working.  When
I try to configure it, I get errors"

[root at hermes samba]# rpcclient localhost -Uroot%xxxx -c 'enumdrivers'

[Windows 4.0]
Printer Driver Info 1:
        Driver Name: [hp_lp]


[Windows NT x86]
Printer Driver Info 1:
        Driver Name: [hp_lp]
[root at hermes samba]# rpcclient localhost -Uroot%xxxx -c 'getdriver hp_lp'

[Windows NT x86]
Printer Driver Info 3:
        Version: [2]
        Driver Name: [hp_lp]
        Architecture: [Windows NT x86]
        Driver Path: [\\hermes\print$\W32X86\2\ADOBEPS5.DLL]
        Datafile: [\\hermes\print$\W32X86\2\hp_lp.PPD]
        Configfile: [\\hermes\print$\W32X86\2\ADOBEPSU.DLL]
        Helpfile: [\\hermes\print$\W32X86\2\ADOBEPSU.HLP]


        Monitorname: []
        Defaultdatatype: [RAW]

result was WERR_UNKNOWN_PRINTER_DRIVER

Also, when I try to add the printer from my Windows/XP box, I get an
error saying that the appropriate driver is not installed.

Anybody have any ideas?
