[Samba] Another printing problem...

I'm running samba 2.2.3a-6 under Debian (testing) and I
am having a heck of a time getting Windows 2000 to print
to my printer. I keep getting that "Access denied, unable
to connect" message. At one point I had it so you could
print test pages, but as soon as you tried to print from
an application, it would break. However, that doesn't
even work anymore. I've been reading around, but none
of the solutions I've seen work for me. Here is what I
have in my smb.conf file for the printer:

[Epson]
     use client driver = Yes
     path = /var/spool/samba
     comment = Epson Stylus COLOR 777
     guest ok = Yes
     printable = Yes
     print command = lpr -P %p -o raw %s -r
     printer name = Epson
     browseable = Yes
     guest ok = Yes
     writable = no

My /var/spool/samba looks like this:

drwxrwxrwt    2 root     root         4096 Sep 21 14:28 /var/spool/samba

Here is a section from my log:

   sephira (192.168.0.3) connect to service jaz as user bonnie 
(uid=1001, gid=100
1) (pid 1712)

At some point it seems to be checking the Lanman password?
I have no idea why it's doing that. The password bonnie logs
in with is the same as the unix password. Plus, she is allowed
to login to all of the other shares (which can be seen in the
last line).

If anyone could provide me assistance with this, I would greatly
appreciate it. I've been scratching my head over this for a couple
of days now.
