A solution to this has been suggested.  We need to implement a printcap 
cache time and reload printers periodically when "printing = cups"
I just haven't had time to do it.

There are several ways to automate  smbclient and rpcclient 
(which cupsmbadd uses IIRC).  I didn't think it had to be local.  
If so, the would be a cupsmbadd issue since [smb|rpc]client has no 
problems installing drivers on remote servers.
