Getting not so far, but learing much about samba/cups printing.
I could get everything to work on our PDC, except for the assignment of Window print drivers to the cups print queues. I couldn't get to work from the "Add Printer Wizard". I got a "Printer settings could not be saved. Access is denied." error. Got the same thing from the command line, using rpcclient. As far as I can tell, there is no way to perform this action directly on the tdb file which hold the data. It must be done though system calls.
My guess is what's keeping it from working is that the smb.conf file that's governing this is a second smb process I run independant of the PDC, on a virtual ethernet interface. I wonder if the RPC calls are going back to the main interface, somehow.
