1)Is the user dwoody in the list of "printer admin"s
2)Does the user dwoody have write access to the print$ share
3)Does the user dwoody have write access to the directories in the
print$ share (ie /var/lib/samba/printers/*)

If in doubt, please send the entire defintions of your print$ and
printers shares, and the following output:
$ grep print /etc/samba/smb.conf|egrep -v [\;\#]

BTW, using the adobe postscript drivers is really only recommended for
postscript printers, you should upload the windows native drivers from a
windows machine if you have non-postscript printers.

But, the same issues would apply.
