Uhmm...  I'm not sure.  So what do I do - create the share, create
empty directories like 'w32x86' and 'win40' and then issue a setdriver
RPC?

Might be helpful...  An parameter for the printer share in smb.conf
seems like the proper way to me.

Uh...  Well, I do not see to many things specific to lprng there...
Here the lpr system is not too standard right now, so until I'll get
to put some interface to it in the printing code of Samba (or, for
that matter, when we switch to lprng or something else modern), I
define all the printer shares in smb.conf.
