[Samba] Problem Uploading Printer Drivers from XP

I am having problems uploading printer drivers from my WinXP workstation. I
can use my Win2K workstation just fine, but when I try to use the exact same
user ID and access the exact same printer, the New Driver... button on the
XP printer dialog is disabled. The only thing I can think of is permissions
on the client side (since it is the same user ID being used). I tried
granting my user ID full access to the printer, but it still wouldn't allow
me to access the New Driver... button. I have attached my smb.conf below.
Any help would be appreciated.
Samba 2.2.5 as PDC on RedHat 6.2
Thanks.
