If you can forget the GUI for a moment perhaps you
can install the printer on the WinNT/TSE by a
work-around, which goes something like this:

System Panel -> Printers -> Add...
Local Printer, No automatic search
Create a new port of type Local Port
As Port name type "\\yoursamba\yourprinter"
Choose the driver from the assistent's list etc.

Sure downloading all drivers automatically is the
holy grail, but if the above procedure works (which
it mustn't necessarily), who cares?
