	Have you tried to use "disable spoolss = yes"? I saw that you
are alreading use "use client driver = yes", in some print servers in
our company we have to use the "disable spoolss" to solve a similar
problem.

	Anyway, there are a couple of considerations to your smb.conf:

	If you check smb.conf manpage you'll find:

       guest only (S)
              If  this parameter is yes for a service, then only guest connec-
              tions to the service are permitted. This parameter will have  no
              effect if guest ok is not set for the service.

              See  the  section  below on  security for more information about
              this option.

              Default: guest only = no

	You have "guest only = Yes" but you don't have "guest ok".

	And I didn't found which security directive you are using.

	Hope it helps, kind regards. :-)
