when i updated, i had a similar problem:
printing from a netadmin - was ok...
printing from a netuser - access denied...
this was my print section:
  [printers]
    comment = All Printers
    browseable = no
    printable = yes
    public = yes
    read only = no
    create mode = 0666
    path = /netzwerk/print
unfortunally (in samba 2.0.X al was running) i did not have 'x' - rights 
on /netzwerk/print - i've changed rights of this temp directory - and 
all was running fine.

one user was still not able to print over samba...

so if i tried to install the printer over 'new printer' - 'network' - ...
he got always 'access denied'...
now i've installed this printer over 'new printer' - 'local printer' - 
'new port' - 'local port' - '\\<server>\<printerport>' - ...
and *jippppeyyy* the printer did run.

i don't know what happend at this time, because all other w2k machines, 
which was linked after this, where running well without workaround. - 
seems this machine did store something in registry, which causes teh 
error...


it's only a experience, but i hope, it's something in for u...
