Description James Henstridge 2003-09-25 23:27:49 UTC 
When using the rpcclient adddriver command to upload a printer driver to a Samba
server, it will always set the printer driver version to 2 if arch=="Windows NT
x86".  This makes it impossible to upload a newer Win2k printer driver along
side the older WinNT driver.

Attached is a patch against Samba 3.0.0 that adds a third argument to the
adddriver command to specify the printer driver version.  If the argument is
omitted, it will pick the default printer driver version corresponding to the
architecture, like it did before.

Patch to add extra argument to adddriver command.
Includes an update to the DocBook version of the manpage.

Any chance of getting this patch applied for Samba-3.0.1?  It works well for me,
updates the documentation and is fairly low risk.  If there are problems with
it, what should I do to fix it?

Checked in!  Sorry for the delay.

PS: gnome-python rocks!

sorry for the same, cleaning up the database to prevent unecessary reopens of bugs.
