[Samba] How do I remove printer drivers from print$

I am running 2.2.2-5 for Debian. Here is my smb.conf file, with a few of the
shares stripped out for brevity.
I have just added "show add printer wizard = yes" and executed
/etc/init.d/samba reload. I don't think anything has changed so far, but at
the end of the day I will do a restart and see what happens then.
Many thanks for the support. I am hoping to have this fixed by the next
time someone on 9x wants to print in colour!
Interestingly, testparm outputs the old definition of:
printer driver file = /etc/samba/printers.def
as well as my entries. Since this file doesn't exist, I am at a loss as to
where the information about the drivers installed is kept. If I remove the
files from print$, the server still believes it has those files.
Cheers.

You must be connected to the Samba server as a "printer admin" and
have 'show add printer wizard = yes' in smb.conf. This should work.
What version of Samba are you running?
