[Samba] Samba/CUPS Printing from Windows

I've got a Samba server that is acting as a member server in a Windows NT
Domain. I enabled CUPS printing yesterday and have shared the 4 printers to
the domain. I then added the printers onto a Windows 2000 client, and can
print just fine to any of them.
But I have two problems (read "annoyances"):
1). When I look at any of the printers from Windows (i.e. Control
Panel/Printers) I can see the Samba supplied network printers, but when I
click on any of them I see a Status of "Access denied, unable to connect."
on the left hand side of the printers window.
2). Because of No. 1 (I think) when I double-click on a network printer, I
can't see any of the jobs in the queue for that printer as I should.
Anyone ran into these issues before? I have included the smb.conf below for
inspection.
I'm running Red Hat 8.0, Samba 2.2.7, CUPS 1.1.17.
