I'm surprised that NT uses the wrong credentials with SPOOLSS since
this would surely cause problems printing to a Windows NT Server?  I
can't find any relevant articles in the Microsoft Knowledge Base.

Since I'm not using the features of SPOOLSS, such as downloading
printer drivers, I could use Lanman instead, but this would be making
the problem go away rather than fixing it.
