Actually, I did read the HOWTO, and that part specifically several times.  
I've done it both ways, and the result is the same.  The problem is *NOT*
adding the drivers to the server--that works correctly, and the samba
server sees and reports them correctly.  Instead, I think the problem has 
to do with downloading the drivers from the server to the client, and also 
some strange permissions problem.  I'm going to scrap the whole thing and 
start from scratch later today
