NT client auth lists etc

Hi. 
Context: trying to get a workstation printer to be available to a
specific user only in a Samba 2.0.6 Domain.
Problem: can't successfully use the printer remotely

Having been told about the limit to the length of the domain user list, I
can now get the permissions->add dialog on a printer share on a
workstation in my domain, and add the user MYDOMAIN\printuser as "Full
Control". Unfortunately, this doesnt seem to let me actually USE the
printer.

The command:
 "smbclient \\\\computer-in-question\\printshare$ -U printuser%pass -P"
authenticates successfully (I get a SMB:> prompt). The problem is that
trying actually to print something:
"print goose.ps"
Produces an error; something along the lines of "cannot access remote
document".

One slight clue is that going back to the permissions->add dialog on the
workstation no longer shows MYDOMAIN\printuser but MYDOMAIN\Account
UNknown. Perhaps 2.0.6 does not support this sort of use?

For me, another way around the problem would be to create a local
workstaion account that can be accesssed remotely, but the problem here is
that smbclient appears not to be able to authenticate locally.

Is this valid syntax? "smbclient \\\\server\\printer$ -U
'WORKSTATION\user' -P

Any comments would be appreciated...
