[Samba] Win2K: "access denied" from samba printer

[David Flood]

This is the same problem as I'm having accept we found the error come up if the 
person logged in was not the person who installed the printer. I think there is clearly an 
issue here but weather it's the same issue for both of us - I don't know.
