Please show me a better way to implement a functionality without a password!

I thing on kerberos and the printer admin in samba?

But what is the problem with the -P switch. cupsaddsmb only runs as
root. 

Who has implemented the -P switch at the smbclient and what was his
intention?

You read my email but you didn't answered the real question, 
what is the reason for the errormessage at the set driver command?
