Printer drivers must be placed in the 'print$' CIFS share to allow Point'n'Print driver deployment on Windows. This share is standard and well-documented for this specific purpose, ensuring that Windows clients can access and automatically download the necessary drivers for network printers.

B is correct, according to guides and samba wiki https://www.netadmintools.com/art258.html https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Setting_up_Automatic_Printer_Driver_Downloads_for_Windows_Clients#Setting_up_the_[print$]_Share Looking for pnpdrivers$ only results in LPIC Dumps, so i assume it is made up. It also isn't stated anywhere in the samba wiki, but print$ is. If it does exist, it probably is related to plug and play, not point and print
