Michael,
I had the same problem on 9.0 with a VMware Win2000 guest OS and a C84
printer.
The only solution I found was to *not* install the drivers locally, but
to install them on the (Linux) Samba server, and have Samba install them
in Windows when you create the network printer.
To do this the easy way, you actually use the Windows Add Printer
Wizard.
The clearest instructions for doing this I found are here:
http://acd.ucar.edu/~fredrick/linux/samba-printer/
There are also other good tips in that doc that will help ensure you
have a solid Samba setup.
I hope this is helpful.
Mark
