work?

Hi,
I am playing around with automatic printer driver download to Windows
2000 clients from Samba 2.2.8a-1 which doesn't seem to work. Whenever I
right-click on the printer and say "connect", it displays:
The server on which the printer resides does not have the correct
printer driver installed.....
Here is my smb.conf file:
[Global]
workgroup = DEBIAN_FANS
load printers = yes
printcap name = cups
printing = cups
guest account = smbguest
map to guest = Bad User
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
security = user
encrypt passwords = true
printer admin = smbguest,root
wins server = 157.182.194.247
[printers]
comment = All Printers
browseable = no
path = /var/spool/samba
printable = yes
public = yes
writable = no
create mode = 0700
printer admin = smbguest,root
[print$]
path = /etc/samba/drivers
guest ok = yes
browseable = yes
read only = yes
write list = smbguest,root
The log files have nothing in them and the result of cupsaddsmb is:
sutton:/etc/samba/drivers# cupsaddsmb -v -U root -a
Password for root required to access localhost via SAMBA:
Running command: rpcclient localhost -N -U'root%secret?' -c 'adddriver
"Windows NT x86"
"ps212erb:ADOBEPS5.DLL:ps212erb.PPD:ADOBEPSU.DLL:ADOBEPSU.HLP:NULL:RAW:NULL"'
cmd = adddriver "Windows NT x86"
"ps212erb:ADOBEPS5.DLL:ps212erb.PPD:ADOBEPSU.DLL:ADOBEPSU.HLP:NULL:RAW:NULL"
Printer Driver ps212erb successfully installed.
Running command: rpcclient localhost -N -U'root%secret?' -c 'addprinter
ps212erb ps212erb "ps212erb" ""'
cmd = addprinter ps212erb ps212erb "ps212erb" ""
result was NT_STATUS_UNSUCCESSFUL
Did anyone ever get this automatic driver download to work at all?
