Problem uploading printer drivers

I'm running samba 2.2.2-6 on a redhat 7.2 box running 2.4.9-7 kernel...
I'm trying to upload printer drivers from a Windows 2000 client. I've
followed the instructions in the samba howto collection. I've created
the print$ share, created the printer directory and subdirs, and made
sure they are writeable by me. I put myself in the write list and the
printer admin list.
I've tried to install the drivers by doing the following:
start-> run \\sambasrvr
double-click printers folder
right-click printer, select properties
when prompted, click 'no' to install printer drivers
click Sharing tab -> Install additional Drivers
select Intel Windows 2000, click OK
I get this error:
Unable to install Intel, Windows 2000 printer drivers. Operation unable to be
completed.
Other notes: I can connect to any printer on the samba server and manually
install local printer drivers, and print to the printers fine. I'd just
like to get the upload/download of the printer drivers to work.
Thanks.
