More Printer Troubles for NT --> Samba Server

I'm hoping that someone will be able to shed some light on my problem that I'm
having w/ getting an NT 4.0 box (SP3) to be able to print to a samba server
(1.9.17p3) running Solaris 2.5.1. I've had it working a few times, but I
can't seem to get it to work anymore. I've read through just about everything
I can think of including the archives for this list. Anyway, basically what
I'm getting is the following error when I attempt to print after installing
the appropriate WinNT driver for the printer :
"The Filename, Directory Name, or Volume Label syntax is incorrect"
I get this from within Notepad, and also if I try to print a testpage from
the properties window of the printer. The funny thing is, I see NOTHING
in the Samba logs indicating that the machine was even TRYING to print! I've
tried changing the name of the printer to various things, and nothing appears
to be changing the net result. I've also tried doing the following, which
appears to work fine :
% smbclient '\\justice\201_1718' -P
When I do that, it prompts me for my password (which I give), and then allows
me in.. At that point, I can type "print \.cshrc" or whatever to get a sample
output.. I'm just a bit miffed about why NT is unable to do the same!
Here is my smb.conf file (partial)

Also, keep in mind that I seem to get lots of the following errors in my log
files (only occasionally -- usually when I keep killing the server & restarting
to try new parameters) :
