The WinNT/2k client connects to IPC$ (not \\server\printer) which is why
you are seeing this.  The hosts allow/deny is only done at the connection
time (to IPC$).  I can see why you were surprised.

In the interim, you an add the hosts allow/deny to the [global]
section so that it covers [IPC$] implicitly and that should work.
I'll code up a correct patch and mail it out later today or tomorrow.
