Kurt, thank for taking the time to answer my questions. I very much
appreciate it, and of course, you've opened my eyes up to a new part of the
learning curve by introducing me to new and effective ways to use of the
rpcclient command.
Your suggestions have help me to get it working. However, let me reply:

You are correct, I should have been more specific. In my case they end up in
/etc/samba/drivers/W32X86/3/

When I first issued this command there were two commas - despite the fact that
I had previously associated drivers (and installed them) with this printer
share. The entry as it looks now is as such:
#rpcclient -Uroot -c "enumprinters" SUPERSERVER

I had read over a number of the man pages and other documentation including
John T. excellent book, but was not familiar with this use of the rpcclient
command. I found (and find) them to be extremely useful tools, and will have
to reread the man pages. I recognized that familiarity with the command line
tools that allow you to get to Samba's underbelly really helps in resolving
problems. Thanks for posting them.

I've taken your advice, and made the modifications to my smb.conf file and all
works well now. Again thanks for your help. For those who follow in my
footsteps, and use the sambalist archives to resolve problems I'll repost my
smb.conf file. It looks like this:

There is one more issue I need to solve to get samba 3.0.1pre3 working
perfectly on Solaris9 but I'll post that question in an other email.
