Michael,

Yes, I am trying to use point an print.  I will look at the net command
to set printer rights.

Thanks
-Glenn

General Protection fault is an actual crash, short of (somehow) 
overwriting memory, it is not possible for one process to cause another 
one to crash. Crashes occur because the program that crashed, failed. If

the Windows driver has a bug then that isn't something that can be fixed

by samba (samba might impliment a work around by not doing something 
that induces the crash, but the flaw in the crashing program will still 
exist it will just be hidden).

Are you using point and print?

Is the user on the client a local administrator?

This is depreciated, have you granted permissions using "net"?
