When you exactly follow the HowTo, it works (I wrote the HowTo and have 
validated it a few times in the past :-)).

In my production environment I have "use client driver = yes", and 
upload and association of drivers work fine (LPRng backend, but this 
should not matter for associating the driver). But my production 
printserver is currently still on 3.6.19.

Hm. That's interesting. Normally this should work. What config 
parameters didn't work when you only reload?

Just some thoughts:
- Do you receive the printjob in CUPS?
- Do you have a spool file for the job in the Samba/CUPS spool folder?
- CUPS is up and printing directly from the server works?
- Any restrictions prevent printing? (firewall, SELinux,...)?
