Hi Jerry,

great work!!
the switchover from 3.0.14a to 3.0.20pre2 no longer destroyed any 
printer->driver assiciations. the rpcclient output for "enumprinters 2" is 
the same for 3.0.14a and 3.0.20pre2. all uppercase printernames where 
kept. connecting a printer with automated driver download is working, old 
printer connections are still alive. printing works for all printers i 
could test so far.

thanks a lot for this great patch.
will this get into SVN for 3.0.20(pre3)?

regards,
Joerg
