Hi Cyril,

I'd like to add a few notes. Kyocera Universal Drivers behave similar to 
the way you describe it, if i use them on an windows pc, the driver is 
able to read the required settings from the printer. If i use em on 
samba i have to enter the printers ip address manuall once.
HP universal drivers also seem to require snmp and newer drivers need to 
be modified with hp's admin toolkit to get them working on samba.
To me it seems more like the drivers try to identify the printer 
address/name to make snmp queries and this does not work with samba atm.
