[Samba] Samba printing idea... really cool

Envinronment: Samba PDC w/LDAP backend & XP Pro clients.

OK, so here is my idea:

The ESP PrintPro drivers are free native windows CUPS network drivers 
that facilitate all the cool wackiness and printer control that users 
are used to.  So what if we just use Samba to distribute them? Then 
everything is native CUPS and users still get point and print.

:-)

Is this feasible?  Am I way off base here?

Of course an alternative is to just drop a link on each users desktop 
that points at a share where the PrintPro drivers are kept and a doc on 
how to use them, but I much prefer point and print.
