Yup, it's happened here a few times.  I'd added some code to delete the 
SECDESC when deleting printers, and at the time Guenther suggested 
splitting that out to a commandline util separately.  I don't think he 
actually did it; it's still on my todo list, along with the rest of the 
printcap stuff.

tdbtool /path/to/ntprinters.tdb

tdb> keys
PRINTERS/foo
SECDESC/foo
SECDESC/bar
PRINTERS/bar
...

tdb> delete SECDESC/foo

Clients should be able to connect after this.  Remember to reset any 
non-default ACLs on the share.
