Primarily because I've never gotten it to work despite frequent efforts.
Offeding printer is a Lexmark Z53 (supposedly fully supported) and when
ever I try to add it to an XP box I get "Server doesn't have the right
driver, do you wish to upload the driver?" then when I do it says
"Cannot connect to the printer. Contact your network administrator
yatta yatta yatta."
Relevant testparm output on the remote chance someone wants to help:

(use generic PostScript on clients).
