I can't seem to print unless I set /var/spool/samba and 
/var/spool/hl1440 to 777, and even then I can't see the printer queue, I 
get 'Access Denied, unable to connect'. Samba, is my NT4 PDC. sjr is an 
admin user. My NT Username is SJr, and my passwd file has an entry for 
SJr as well as sjr (both with the same UID).

Here are the revelant sections of my smb.conf

[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/samba
browseable = no
public = yes
guest ok = yes
writable = no
write list= sjr, SJr
valid users = sjr, SJr
printable = yes

[HL-1440]
comment = Brother HL-1440
printable = yes
path = /var/spool/hl1440/
public = yes
valid users = sjr, SJr
guest ok = yes
printer admin = sjr, SJr
browseable = yes

[print$]
comment = Printer Drivers
path = /etc/samba/drivers/
browseable = yes
guest ok = no
read only = yes
