[Samba] Setting up Print$ share

[kens]

I've just tried this, again, without any success on a FC6 Samba 3.0.24.7 
system.

There must be something missing either in my config or the Samba build. 
Do anyone have this working who could share a simple recipe to get it 
going? The obvious work around is to load the drivers into the Windows 
systems, as I have to date. Other than this, Samba is working fine.....

Thanks

Ken
