I found a log file from Ed Wilson regading this issue.  What is the client 
OS?  XP?   Hmmm....curious....  That was the client Ed was using.
I had assuming MS had changed something the printing code in XP, but
maybe this is ACT's problem.  I looked quickly at the log file
and the sure enough, the OpenPrinter call can't be parsed.
Something is out of sync.  

This looks like an ACT!2000 bug.  Look at the panning width.  It
seems absolutely, unreasonable.  Of course, this would imply
the same issues would occur from NT to NT (or 2k).....

Unless NT/2k just ignores the marshalling failure and replies
with a failure.... 

Ed, could you perform the same test from XP -> 2k and get a tcpdump
for me? (tcpdump -w /tmp/dump.pcap -s 65535 -i eth0).  Thanks.
