I have a copy of the printed HOWTO collection and it has the correct procedure for this. Must have permissions to the print share, must have created the correct dir on that share for the client 
architecture, must be a printer admin who is logged into the workstation uploading the print drivers, a few other minor things... like make sure you did not set root as an invalid user in smb.conf.

Here is my print specific smb.conf stuff...

[global]
########## Printing ##########
    load printers = yes
    printcap name = CUPS
    printcap cache time = 180
    printing = CUPS
    use client driver = no
    printer admin = @domadmin

####### Print Shares ########
[printers]
    comment = SMB Print Spool
    path = /var/spool/samba
    browseable = no
    public = yes
    guest ok = yes
    read only = yes
    printable = yes
    create mode = 0600

[print$]
    comment = Printer Driver Download Area
    path = /shares/print
    browsable = yes
    guest ok = yes
    read only = yes
    write list = @domadmin

#!/bin/bash
#
# initPrint.sh
#

mkdir /var/spool/samba
chmod 0777 /var/spool/samba
chmod o+t /var/spool/samba
