samba - Sep 2012 - Samba 3 and cupsaddsmb

I can't even get cupsaddsmb to work right.  I followed the configuration
instructions from the documentation, and my smb.conf matches what the cupsaddsmb
man page says.

I am getting extremely frustrated with this and not being able to allow clients
to download drivers from Samba.

With cupsaddsmb, this is the error I am receiving when it gets to this point,
over and over:

Running command: rpcclient localhost -N -A /tmp/cupsDdRS7Y -c 'adddriver
"Windows NT x86"
"pw003:pscript5.dll:pw003.ppd:ps5ui.dll:pscript.hlp:NULL:RAW:pscript5.dll,pw003.ppd,ps5ui.dll,pscript.hlp,pscript.ntf,cups6.ini,cupsps6.dll,cupsui6.dll"'
result was WERR_INVALID_PARAM

What in the heck is going on?  Why can I not get any of this to work?

This is the error with verbose output:

pc_api_pipe: got frag len of 28 at offset 0: NT_STATUS_OK
rpc_api_pipe: host localhost returned 8 bytes.
     spoolss_AddPrinterDriver: struct spoolss_AddPrinterDriver
        out: struct spoolss_AddPrinterDriver
            result                   : WERR_INVALID_PARAM
result was WERR_INVALID_PARAM

Even if you could get it to work, is this really what you want?
Printing with native Windows drivers is the more normal pattern these
days, rather than printing postscript and getting CUPS to do the
conversion.

Hello Kristofer,

please try it first without the cups6-drivers. Use only the original MS-Drivers.
I am using Samba 3.4 since years and it is working beautiful.
