I fixed this. I rebuilt 3.0.0 and made sure every bit of previous
releases except the TDB files and smb.conf where gone. Then re-ran
"make install". Start up samba and was able to connect and manipulate
the print drivers via APW/"Server Properties". Some bit of one of the
rc releases must have been lying around is my only guess (we used rc1 -
rc4 in production).
