Thanks to those who responded to my original question.
I ran this command and it accepted it after I provided the root password.
# net rpc rights grant 'vlkidder' SePrintOperatorPrivilege

# net rpc rights list accounts

through the process of copying the driver files to the [print$] directory,
but there is still an error in my log file.
