Thanks again Chris, but it isn't of much help I'm afraid. No matter how I try, I can't get those Windows drivers in place on the Linux server. All that's there are the CUPS drivers, and they do download correctly. My client is a Windows XP Pro SP1, and nowhere in there I can manage to upload drivers for a printer to the Linux server..
