IIRC I described why this happens under the "use client driver"
parameter in smb.conf(5).  I'm betting that you are logged into
the NT/2000 client as an admin and hence the reason for the
"access denied" message.  You are also using a local printer
driver (not one installed on the samba server).  NT treats
local printers differently.
