Samba 2.2.2 printing problem

Hello, all -
I am attempting to set up a point and print system between a Samba 2.2.2
server and some Windows 2000 Professional workstations. So far, I'm not
having a lot of luck.
I have set up my smb.conf file as such:
[global]
netbios name = PEAR
encrypt passwords = Yes
printer admin = slowe
[print$]
path = /usr/local/samba/print
write list = slowe
read only = No
guest ok = Yes
[HTDOCS]
path = /usr/local/apache/htdocs
read only = No
guest ok = Yes
[wkbd]
comment = Pear WK-BD
path = /tmp
guest ok = Yes
printable = Yes
printer name = WK-BD
I have created the directory structure:
/usr/local/samba/print
/usr/local/samba/print/W32X86
/usr/local/samba/print/WIN40
When I browse the Samba server from the Windows 2000 workstation, I am
greeted with my shares, the wkbd printer and the Printers option. When I
double click printers, I get the list of printers which has wkbd in it.
When I administer wkbd and attempt to add additional drivers, I get the
following error message:
"Device settings cannot be displayed. The driver for the specified printer
is not installed. Only spooler properties will be displayed. Do you want
to install the driver now?". When I choose "No", I get the spooler
properties. I choose "Sharing" to attempt to add drivers where I get the
following error message:
"Unable to install the Intel, Windows NT 4.0 or 2000 driver. Operation
could not be completed."
I am logged into my Windows workstation as slowe, and I am definitely a
"printer admin" (I tested it).
The printer is an HP LaserJet 4M Plus.
Any ideas?
Scott
