As nobody answered yet, I'll answer by myself:

Looks like the driver cannot be removed if a printer is set to it using
setdriver command.

Solution was to stop samba and remove the file ntdrivers.tdb and
ntprinters.tdb from /var/lib/samba. Then I could restart making the
drivers. 

One question I still got: Do I have to set the Default Data Type to RAW
or to PS if the Adobe Postscript driver shall format the documents that
are printed on the WinMachine to Postscript. Which then will be fed into
my cups?
