Found a seemingly reliable work around for #3.
# Stop SMB services
[root at crew var]# rcsmb stop
Shutting down SMB services: [ OK ]
Shutting down NMB services: [ OK ]
# make sure all the SMB processes have stopped, this may take a minute
[root at crew var]# ps ax | grep smb
6956 pts/1 S+ 0:00 grep smb
# Remove the related tdb file
[root at crew var]# rm ./lib/samba/printing/cenps.tdb
rm: remove regular file `./lib/samba/printing/cenps.tdb'? y
# Restart SMB services
[root at crew var]# rcsmb start
Starting SMB services: [ OK ]
Starting NMB services: [ OK ]
Users can now print to the queue again, no "Access Denied" message.
