Jonny,
I had a similar problem last week from Windows 2000 & Windows NT: I
did not receive your
smb.conf file so you can look at the info below to see if it matches.
Also See the message from Stephen below in regards to the "use
client driver = yes" option.
You may be able to print even though the printers window shows
"Access denied, Cannot connect to printer"
I do not have Windows-XP to test this But this might fix your problem
From man smb.conf I did a search for "/use client" which stats that
if you do not upload printer
drivers into samba then you will get the access denied, unable to
connect message in the printer
queue window even though jobs may successfully be printed. And it
says that
"disable spoolss = yes" does the same behavior as the "use client
driver = yes" option.
Regards,
Tim

I had the same problem after upgrading to 2.2.7. You have to add:
use client driver = yes
Either globally or for the individual printer share.
Read the section on the above in the man page for smb.conf for an
explanation.

Well, yes, we've deployed Linux and we're seeing reduced costs and
increased functionality. But our competitors? Linux might be bad for
them. Real bad. Our competitors should stick with what they have
right now.
