Strange behaviour related to NIS

Greetings folks,

I've recently begun to experience very strange behaviour in relation to 
Windows printing to samba print shares.  I'll try not to get too detailed 
here but I've recently replaced our main YP server which was formerly OpenBSD 
with a FreeBSD box.  I've got some OpenBSD boxes slaved into this new FBSD 
box.  

Anyway.... since we've slaved the OBSD boxes into the FBSD box, samba 
printing from Windows is now broken!?!  The samba logons, shares etc. all 
appear to be working fine but the server appears to just completely ignore 
Win print requests.  However, other boxes doing remote lpr style printing 
(NT, HP/UX) are still able to print.

Can anyone offer any insight as to what might be happening?

TIA,

-- 
Scott
