To set a driver, just use the "New Driver" button 
from the printer properties dialog.  Or is this what you
are referring to?

Hmmm....seems people are taking me too literally. :-)
I'll clarify.  

The [print$] share is a normal file share.  Only 
the name is special.  Have you mapped the username 'armstron'
to 'ntadmin'.  If not then, the permissions outlined below
mean that you must connect as root.  The 'ntadmin' 
account is not listed as a printer admin and armstron
does not have rights to copy new drives onto [print$].
