This is a rhetorical question, because I do not know the answer -- does 
this user need to be a member of "Domain Admins"?

Tom, try "net groupmap list" and see what group is mapped to "Domain 
Admins" -- is the user you're connecting as a member of that group? If 
not, does making sure that they are make a difference? I'd also ask you 
to check to make sure privileges are turned on, but if they weren't, 
attempting to add PrintOperatorPrivilege would have failed with 
NT_STATUS_NO_SUCH_PRIVILEGE or equivalent.

BTW, do you have a [print$] defined, with the proper tree created 
beneath it? The directories all have to be there first. Check your logs 
for red flags, if there are any. Generally things break farther down the 
line, though, so I'm pretty sure it's Samba permissions.
