I am happy this identical problem, with these adjustments--
Samba 2.2.2 on Solaris 7.  The printer driver in question is 
HP 4550DN.  I installed successfully about five other drivers, but
they were Win9X versions..the only one that won't install is the
Win2k one. 

Jerry--are you saying that this is a configuration issue rather than 
a problem with Samba itself?  Just checking...I was unclear.

Thanks,
