You need to upload printer drivers from a Windows (NT/2k/XP) machine as
a user who is a member of "printer admin", and has write access to the
directories.

This is covered in the samba-howto-collection, which your distribution
should provide you with.

Also, note that many changes have been made in the printing code since
2.2.3a, you may want to consider not running an ancient release of samba
(but I have had this working in 2.2.2).
