I am trying to load the drivers via my WinXP workstation but all the
options listed to add drivers is greyed out. I am assuming this is the
case because I cannot connect as root (or any other user) due to the
face that since I wanted a complete open system, I had to use 
security = share , correct? Whenever I have that set, windows will not
prompt me for a password and if I try to connect via net use, it
continues to say that the password or user is incorrect.

I would like to skip the "use client drivers = yes" for obvious reasons
of not having to have printer disks or drivers all over the place, plus
making it easy to add printers for my staff.

Is there no easy way to have an open ended system but still have the
ability to upload drivers to the samba server?
