Trying to have windows XP clients download drivers automatically.

#  cupsaddsmb -U root -v -a
Password for root required to access /var/run/cups/cups.sock via SAMBA:

This continues to cycle until I kill the command.

I really need some help to understand what is causing this error.

I am able to print using CUPS but the drivers are not being downloaded or recognized on the windows client logged into SAMBA.
