Hey DJ,

> Driver Wizard on a Windows client, with a username part of
> the 'print admin' group, we get this error message:
> "Unable to install HP Lazerjet 4000 Series PCL 6, Windows 2000, Intel 
> Driver. Access denied"

>         write list = root, @MYGROUP\Staff
>         create mask = 0700

Can /var/lib/samba/printers be reached by a member of @MYGROUP\Staff?
What does the ownership permissions of the subdirectories look like?
i.e. W32X86... W32X86/2... W32X86/3?

Your create mask of 0700 seems like it would be problematic for a few
reasons, but mostly because your write list is group based, and other
users will not be able to read files from print$.
