Kurt,

The cupsaddsmb command completes with no errors.  I have also previously 
deleted the ntdrivers.tdb, ntprinters.tdb, and ntprinters.tdb files, stoped 
and restarted samba, and repeated the cupssmbadd command with no change 
in results.  Below is the output of cupsaddsmb, editted only to obscure the 
password used, along with a listing of the CUPS drivers in the print$ 
share:
