you copied the files to print$/w32x86 ?

and after the rpcclient's spolladdprinterdriver call, they moved to
print$/w32x86/2 ?

the files should be in that directory. 

on NT the files should not be in the WINNT directory but under
winnt/system32/spool/drivers/w32x86/2

I don't think the xerox driver is faulty :-) :-) The postscript driver is
one of the few, MS wrote well. The downloading thing I'm talking, not the
quality of the postscript code :-)
