SAMBA as a print server

Is anyone else successfully using SAMBA as a print server for
Windows NT workstations?
We're trying to eliminate our NT servers and our NT domain and printing
is the last real snag I have. I've set up a Solaris 2.5.1 machine
running 1.9.17p2 of SAMBA as a test.
When I try to add a printer I get the error described in section 3.7
of the FAQ ("You do not have sufficient access to your machine to connect
to the selected printer, since a driver needs to be installed locally.").
So, I added the printer driver name and added the print$ share on the
SAMBA server, and copied the driver files required to that share.
But, I still get the same error. So, I cranked up the debug level
and tried to find the problem - nothing obvious stuck out.
Can anyone tell me what else to try or change to make this work?
I've added on my short smb.conf file below.
Thanks,
Craig
