I recently found a tool by Cisco[1] with which you can compare and if
necessary correct differences between printer driver installations on
a local windows host and a remote samba host. It took me about 10
minutes with these tools to get our previously semi-functional Brother
drivers working like they should.
For the printer in question (a Brother HL-4040CN) it could tell me
some 61 registry entries were missing on the samba server and it
kindly corrected that for me.
It's too bad the tool itself is not publicly accessible.

Wow, this tool was invaluable in helping me get the Xerox 7346 drivers
to work in Samba!
thanks,
Ryan
