print drivers in MFXP farm

[nix45]

Why would print drivers be installed into a MetaFrame XP farm automatically? What is the purpose and how do you stop it? Under Printer Management properties, I selected "Universal driver only", and deselected "Automatically install native drivers for auto-created client and network printers". The LaserJet 5L driver keeps appearing in the farm. This is a driver that comes native with Win2000 and is the driver that we use for most of our network printers.

Thanks,

Do you have to install a print driver into the farm for every network printer that clients will connect to?

What is the purpose of importing print servers into the farm? You still have to individually install every print driver for every printer regardless of whether or not its on a print server that is in the farm.

Is it possible to use the Universal Print Driver for network printers? It seems that you can only use it for client printers.
