Problem configuring SAMBA for print server

Hi,
I am configuring SAMBA to be the interface between our Windows users and our
Print server on Redhat Linux. The print server is not CUPS, but this is
irrelevant to my problem.
The Windows users authenticate against ADS.
I have already configured SAMBA to authenticate against the AD server.
When a Windows user browses to \\LNX1 he can see all the printers. However
when clicking on a printer icon, there is a message that no driver is
available. When looking at the printer properties, the driver field name is
empty. Everything is grayed off, and it is impossible to set anything.
I also looked into the print server properties, and again in the drivers
tab, the driver list is empty, and everything is grayed off, so I cannot add
a driver.
I guess it's a permissions problem, or something in the SMB.CONF file.
Here is the SMB.CONF file. Would appreciate any advice.
