When making ethereal captures you need to capture the complete session
otherwise ethereal doesn't know it is decoding DCERPC/SMB packets.

The best way to do this is to log out or reboot NT, start ethereal, then
log in and install your printer.  If you use the CVS version of ethereal
it starts to decode the spoolss rpc calls so you might be able to get
more of an idea of what is going wrong.
