Yes. I tried installing the drivers for three Kyocera FS 3830N printers 
that we've recently acquired. The printers seemed to work fine from 
CUPS (test page, printing from Linux and Mac OS X), then from Samba 
(again, printing from Mac OS X). So I installed the drivers on one 
Windows XP box, again, printing worked fine. But then installed the 
drivers to the Samba server to prepare for point-and-print, the drivers 
appear on the file system, but Windows XP continually thinks it hasn't 
got the drivers for that printer.

So I resorted to using the CUPS generic postscript printer drivers. 
Problem solved.

I know this doesn't help, but I hope you can find some comfort in 
knowing that someone else is afflicted with the Kyocera curse too ;)
