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:

Hello Mark,

thank you for the directory hint. I had actually placed the files into
the wrong directory, so the 'WERR_BADFILE' was actually a 'file not
found' error :-(

Thank you for your kind help

regards

Andreas
