[Samba] Printer drivers

[Jim Potter]

Hi Fabian,

Yes - here is (excerpt from) my setup.
You also need to set permissions on shares so printer admins can write
driver files and everybody can print. I think you need arcitecture foldres
under print$ (W32X86 etc) and set SePrintOperatorPrivilege for users to set
up printers.

I got it all working OK (samba 3.5.6), but I do still have troubles with
printer properties in some drivers. I suspect it might work better in
samba3.3 and older but have not got as far as testing this.

Jim
