It works!!! Thanks very much for your help!!!
I added 127.0.0.1/24 to interfaces. I also uninstalled the printer from cups
and reinstalled it to make sure I had the process down. I actually added the
printer from KDE print manager because CUPS does not have the driver and KDE
does.
I had to stop and restart samba before the rpcclient setdriver command worked.
I installed (using your instructions below) the driver for my Deskjet printer
from NT it got the drivers from the NT CD and it copied them to the samba
printer directory. I then printed a test page and got the correct printout.
It is all so easy when you have a good understanding of what needs to be done.
Thanks again,
David

The way to do this from NT/2k is to:
1)Go to //sambabox/Printers
2)right-click on the printer, choose properties
3)When prompted to install a driver, say no
4)Click on the advanced tab, and click "New driver"
5)When prompted for the windows server CD, point it at %windir%\inf
(usually c:\winnt\inf)

Be careful with hosts allow unless you are sure reverse dns lookups work
for all clients.

I think this could be a problem, you should list the loopback address in
your interfaces list (lo or 127.0.0.1)

And you are a member of @users?

Well, the drivers got there fine, so it's not a permissions thing.

Yes, for NT (IIRC), 3 for win2k.
You can do a bit of investigation by running rpcclient interactively:
$ rpcclient localhost -U dwoody
enter your password then you can run commands such as 'enumdrivers',
'enumprinters', and you should eb able to 'setdriver xxx xxx' also. Also
see the help commands in rpcclient.
