[Samba] Samba Print Problem (Everything Looks Right)

I'm trying to get Samba to print with CUPS and the universal postscript
driver. I've followed the HOWTO at
http://us4.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/CUPS-printing.html
(a truely great work, IMO). However, I cannot get a WinXP or Win2K
machine to automatically install the driver when I double-click on the
printer after browsing the share.
I've done everything up to and including step #10. I can use
"rpcclient" and see the driver installed.
The only difference I see is that "cupsaddsmb" (v1.2) put the driver
(cups-windows v6.0) under the "3" subdirectory instead of the "2" directory.
titan:/var/log/samba$ rpcclient -Ubcwhite%secret -c 'getdriver Doyle'
share

Monitorname: []
Defaultdatatype: [RAW]
Not only that, I've connected with smbclient and retrieve one of those
files back to my hard drive (always as "bcwhite"), so I know they exist
and are readable.
I've tried setting the sambal "log level" to 65535 and examing the logs.
I can't even see it making any reference to the "print$" share.

browseable = yes
guest ok = no
read only = yes

Any ideas? Thanks!
