Doing this in CLI via rpclient does exactly the same thing:

rpcclient $>  adddriver "Windows x64" 
xrxC8030:cupsdrvr.dll:xrxC8030.ppd:cupsui.dll:cups.hlp:NULL:RAW:NULL"
result was WERR_ACCESS_DENIED

It seems you allready  had exactly this problem: 
https://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2019-April/222366.html

I thought it would be possible to do it direclyt from CLI/rpcclient

Do you know if there is any other way to make those drivers work even if 
we can't upload them through MMC ?
