[Samba] PRINT$ Problems

[Aaron Goodman]

attatched is my PPD.
I looked over the documents, the 3rd one is the procedure that I followed
but that did not work.  It seemed like the other ones were describing an
altogether different approach, not using the windows driver but the linux
one.  I tried installing the generic post script driver but I couldn't
figuer out how to make it work or install it over point and print.
