The drivers need to be copied to the directory returned by the "getdriverdir"
rpc command. On my system the output looks like:
rpcclient $> getdriverdir
rpc_pipe_bind: Remote machine localhost pipe \spoolss fnum 0x772d bind request
returned ok.
Directory Name:[\\LOCALHOST\print$\W32X86]
Where the network share maps to /var/lib/printers. My interpretation is that
you need to create two new directories on your system.
i. /var/lib/printers/W32X86
ii. /var/lib/printers/W32X86/3
And the directories need to be writeable over the print$ share by the user you
run rpcclient as.
If you don't mind changing your arrangement so that the print jobs are
rendered on the Linux host and a standard PostScript driver is distributed to
the clients, you might have a look at the following article:
