[Casper] PPC & Intel

[Gibson, Robb]

The one thing I¹ve had problems with has been printers. Creating the
installer for the print drivers is no problem, but if we Add Printers
through Casper Admin on an Intel Leopard box, PPC Tiger Macs can¹t use them.
If we add them using any Tiger Mac (PPC or Intel), any Mac can use them.
