Some additional information on this problem:

I set up wireshark to do a packet trace of the connection attempt.  I'm
not familiar enough with what the traffic should look like to know whats
unusual, but the one thing that jumped out at me towards the end of the
conversation was a SPOOLSS OpenPrinterEx request on the network printer,
followed by a response with the return code of 5 - Access denied.
"Aha!" I say to myself, must be a permissions problem... but a packet
trace of the successful connection from the XP box shows several similar
Access denied messages.  Maybe its irrelevant, but it seemed worth
mentioning.

I also upped the debug level on smbd and captured a more detailed log.
The "Printer handle not found" message is still the most
relevant-looking thing there; the details around it look like:

(I don't want to post a full log or the full packet trace - way too much
for a mailing list.  If no one recognises the problem from this much
then I'll attach full data to a bug report.)

Thanks for any suggestions,

     - rob.
