[Samba] connecting printers via samba / cups (Windows XP clients / AD)

Hi,
We have a setup like this:
- W2003 AD PDC
- Redhat Advanced Server 3.0 with Samba 3.0.0 / CUPS as a print
  server
- Windows XP Professional clients

Problem: Users can't connect printers, even administrators are
out of luck, getting a "You are not allowed to connect printer"
like messages. But there is one account that is allowed to
connect printers, and after this account has connected a printer,
another user can connect the same printer on the same machine
(still being out of luck on another workstation).
My first idea "only printer admins are allowed to connect
printers first and anyone is allowed later" seems not to be true,
as I added another user to the printer admin list first, then
retry - still out of luck.

ACLs on the drivers share and all of the ppd files seem to be ok
(everybody can read anything)...

Where should I search for further ideas what's wrong?
