The driver for HP 4650 downloaded from hp.com wouldn't install through APW. I also tried doing it through rpcclient which worked so much as I followed every step in the Samba guide for it with no errors, but Windows XP wasn't able to download the driver files from the Samba server.

ya, sounds like same driver issues with v3.4.x alot of people here are problems with.

Try using v3.3.x and see if you have better luck.

I am not too keen on downgrading, as I am setting up a domain that needs to be Windows 7 compatible.

v3.3.x printing is compatible with Windows 7. We're a large scale samba v3.3.9 and printing works with our Windows7 clients. Or you can wait for v3.4.4 due out on Dec 17 which is supposed to address these driver issues.

I did some more testing today with the postscript drivers and it seems there is a "reference" for gyldendal somewhere which screws things up because if I name the queue differently (same .ppd etc) everything works :S

FWIW, I didn't have a good experience using generic cups/postscript drivers. I had various problems which were fixed when we switched to printer specific drivers.
