[Samba] Win2k and Printing

[daniel.jarboe at custserv.com]

man smb.conf /Access Denied (or /Unable to connect)
Turns up the "use client driver" parameter.  Best way to deal with this
problem, which occurs when you have w2k and XP users who install drivers
locally and are local admins, is to not have them install the drivers
locally (use the print$ share).  Second best is to use client driver =
yes, which has some side-affects but gets the job done.
