Hi Simon,
thanks for your tip. Unfortunately this morning I even can't see any drivers 
in the drivers list. Yesterday I could actually see the right drivers, but I 
still got an error message as soon as I clicked on OK. In the samba log file 
log.smbd, I got the message "can't connect to (or couldn't find) service 
Administrator" (Administrator is the account I'm using to make all these 
tests) 
I'm searching further, thanks anyway, at least I understand now what was 
meant in the last samba howto paragraph 6.2.2. "Setting Drivers for Existing 
Printers"
