The path can be anywhere, really. All that matters is that the permissions are set appropriately - the user you connect as should be able to write to the files. Try 777 if you really want to make sure.
Connect to \\server\print$. You will need to create directories here for drivers; <tt>W32X86</tt> is for NT/2000/XP, <tt>WIN40</tt> is for Windows 95/98. This is a good test to see if you can write to the PRINT$ share.
-Now, fire up the Add Printer Wizard (APW) and run through the wizard, adding appropriate drivers. You'll note that the APW prompts you with 'The server doesn't have drivers for this printer, would you like to upload them now?'. Hit ''no'', and then you will get the printer properties window.

Go to the properties page for the printer you just added, and go to the 'ports' section. After going through the above removal-readd rigmoral, I have only one port listed - a 'Samba Printer Port' one. Make sure this is checked.
-* You can now add extra drivers - go
to the sharing tab, and click 'Additional Drivers', then select the architectures you wish to export drivers for, and it should - if its behaving - prompt for the location of the new drivers.

Troubleshooting
* Try turning <tt>log level</tt> up in the smb.conf. N is a good level.
* To find local drivers, try %systemroot%\system32\spool\drivers\w32x86.
* __Unable to install ''printer'', Intel, Windows 2000 or XP driver. Operation could not be completed__ - Did you create a W32X86 directory under print$?
