Better printing (driver handling) docs ?

Is there anything better than just what is in the HowTo for NT server style
printer driver handling ?  

I have a server that uses security = domain but I don't have any admin access 
to the domain, just the samba server.  We use name maps to equate people's
nt doamin names to their unix logins ....

OS = HP-UX 10.20 .... latest (as of this morning) CVS bits for SAMBA_2_2

I can get general printer access to work fine as in

[global]
  printing = hpux
  printcap name = /local/samba/lib/printcap

[printers]
  comment = Test Printers for Ken
  valid users = ken
  path = /local/samba/var/spool
  read only = yes
  printable = yes
  browseable = yes

But when I started adding things like ....

[global]
  printer admin = ken

[print$]
  comment = Testing NT Printer Support In Samba 2.2.2
  path = /local/samba/printers
  browseable = yes
  read only = yes
  write list = ken

I still don't get anything in the printers folder when I browse and I get
messages in the log.smbd like 

[2001/10/17 10:07:54, 0, pid=3103, effective(0, 1), real(0, 0)] lib/util_sec.c:(77)
  Failed to set uid privileges to (-1,-2) now set to (0,0)
[2001/10/17 10:07:54, 0, pid=3103, effective(0, 1), real(0, 0)] lib/util.c:(1055)
  PANIC: failed to set uid

Pointers/help appreciated ....
