samba - Mar 2007 - error was re: disappearing printer drivers

Hello,
    Adding to my previous msg, debug level 7 finally gave me some output. In 
my smbd.log i am seeing the following whenever i try to upload printer 
drivers:

getpeername failed. error was transport endpoint is not connected

I've looked in to other methods of doing this, imprints doesn't seem to
be
supported, cupsaddsmb won't work with vendor supplied drivers, and to date i
haven't been brave enough to try out rpcclient, i'm not sure of the
syntax
and have concerns about the case of these drivers. So, i need to get this 
working. If anyone has seen this error i'd appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks.
Dave.

To install vendor supplied Windows drivers from Windows clients using cups and 
samba create a raw queue in cups for the printer, reload samba so that it is 
aware of the printer. Make sure that "use client driver" is the
default value
of "no" (testparm -sv | grep 'use client'). Then carefully
follow the
instructions in the classical print section of the howto (yes, works just 
fine for cups):

If you have the proper rights all should be fine.
