You may get more responses if you don't reply to a message but post a
new one (yours will get threaded away in some mail clients).


To install a printer driver on samba you need to follow the directions
in the howto collection.

Essentially 
browse to the printer share on the server, get the properties, go to
sharing...
you should get a windows dialog asking for the location of the files you
downloaded (there should be an inf file in there)

samba will suck up the drivers and store them in its own format for
feeding to clients.
