You can automate print driver installs using smbclient and
rpcclient. See http://imprints.sourceforge.net for examples.
The installation client here is simply a perl script wrapper
for [smb|rpc]client.
I'm also planning on working on a setdriver command for
rpcclient to set the printer driver for an existing printer
(using a previously installed driver).
However, as of yet I have not designed an automated way of
migrating printers.def into the new setup for 2.2.
