Printing problem with smb pw encryption

A week or so ago I upgraded from Samba 1.9.13 to 1.9.17alpha5 and
configured SMB password encryption.
Everything works fine except for printing from all clients (Win3.11,
Win95, WinNT) to a Samba-shared printer.
Prior to the upgrade, printing worked fine, so I'm presuming the problem
is something to do with password encryption (the NT client returns a
"Access Denied" error, Win95 returns one of those "unknown system error"
messages).
But the thing that has me puzzled is that printing doesn't need a password
(public = yes) and this worked fine before!
Other non-passworded public shares also work fine.
I've checked that user "nobody" can print, and again, this worked fine
before the upgrade to 1.9.17alpha5.
I've scanned the archives but found nothing apparently related to this
problem.
Any clues or suggestions gratefully welcomed.
Here are the relevant sections of my smb.conf -
[global]
security = share
printing = sysv
printcap name = /opt/samba-1.9.17alpha5/etc/printcap
load printers = yes
guest account = nobody
password level = 1
encrypt passwords = yes
[printers]
comment = All Printers
browseable = no
printable = yes
path = /tmp
public = yes
writable = no
create mode = 0700
[dsl]
comment = DSL Foyer Printer
printer = dsl
path = /tmp
browseable = yes
printable = yes
public = yes
writable = no
create mode = 0700
Thanks in advance for any help,
Rod.
