A. Apologies if this is blind leading...
B. I have to admit I haven't got as far as you, and I am formulating now a 
question to the list, but from the printing howto 
(http://ftp.easynet.be/samba/docs/man/printer_driver2.html)...

Next create the directory tree below the [print$] share for each 
architecture you wish to support.
[print$]-----
         |-W32X86           ; "Windows NT x86"
         |-WIN40            ; "Windows 95/98"

So is this your problem, you need to create the WIN40 directory and upload 
the drivers then.
