[Samba] Cannot seem to get printer driver delivery working from

Version: Samba 3.0.25b
OS: CentOS 5 x86_64
I've had printer driver delivery working OK to 32 bit clients for a while. I
used cupsaddsmb to set that up originally.
We recently added some 64 bit Vista client machines (yay).
I created an x64 directory on the print$ share and followed the Samba HowTo
instructions for finding and uploading a printer driver. The files are from
a Vista 64 bit client that is able to print directly to the printer over
the network.
rpcclient -U root -c 'adddriver "Windows x64" \
"Dell_Colour_Stationary_Room:PSCRIPT5.DLL:DLUXCN02.PPD:PS5UI.DLL:PSCRIPT.HLP:NULL:RAW:PSCRIPT.NTF,PS_SCHM.GDL"'
\
localhost
rpcclient -U root -c \
'setdriver Dell_Colour_Stationary_Room Dell_Colour_Stationary_Room'
localhost
Both commands complete successfully. The files are all now in print$/x64/3/
and the driver appears in rpcclient enumprinters:
[Windows x64]
Printer Driver Info 1:
Driver Name: [Dell_Colour_Stationary_Room]
However, when I try to Connect to the printer from the Vista 64 bit machine,
all I get is "Windows cannot connect to the printer. Operation could not be
completed (error 0x000006f7)".
Any help would be appreciated.
