[Samba] Uploading driver from windows 2000 to samba server.

[Ryan Novosielski]

Read the HOWTO on this -- it is very detailed. One thing, however, is that
if you are uploading printer drivers, you should not have "use client
driver" set. You also should have the permissions configured on the
[print$] share to allow write access only to the printer admins. This is
located in section 17.5 of the HOWTO, available with your Samba source
distribution or someplace on the web.
