IIRC I described why this happens under the "use client driver"
parameter in smb.conf(5). I'm betting that you are logged into
the NT/2000 client as an admin and hence the reason for the
"access denied" message. You are also using a local printer
driver (not one installed on the samba server). NT treats
local printers differently.
