[Samba] win2k: "printer port is not installed"

Dear list members,

we are running samba 2.2.3a-6 with debian woody.
Printing from win98, NT4.0 works,
but with a win2k PCs printer installation is not possible:
The Network Printer Installation in win2k works fine with no
errors but when we have a look at the printers Properties / Ports
there was no Network Printer added by the installation procedure.

The following german error Message is displayed in the win2k
printer configuration: "Zugriff verweigert; kein Verbindung möglich"
The english translation could be something like this:
"access denied; no connection possible"

All win2k Systems have service pack 2 installed.
Why we can't install a printer port on win2k PCs?
Any ideas to solve this annoying problem are greatly welcomed.

Thank You

Guido
