[Samba] cupsaddsmb encounter with good info supplied

[Mark Maas]

Hi People,

Trying to be as informative as possible: I'm trying to add printers 
drivers to cups-owned, samba shared printer. Called "PDF-Creator"

But when I issue the command "cupsaddsmb -U root -v PDF-Creator" I get a 
"NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE"

Weird thing is: I was able to do this a few months ago. But I noticed 
the drivers where missing when I wanted to add this printer to one of my 
windows workstations. So I thought: Well let's just run the good-ol 
cupsaddsmb and where fine... No go evidently...

Only thing changed since then is a newer version of Samba (3.0.4) and a 
newer version of Cups that came with it (Debian Distro, Sarge)

Here's what I have:

So what does "Can't become connected user!" mean? Googling it does not 
reveal anything?

Thanks for any help!
