This works fine using the normal NT printing model.  I don't
use cupsaddsmb.

"normal NT printing model" means "use the add printer wizard to install the driver on the server"? It would be very surprising if this really makes a difference for automatic driver updates on the client - and it should be put into the howto collection.
Thanks.
