samba - Jul 2004 - Access Denied touching shared CUPS printer

I am now getting around to setting up a test printer.

CUPS is installed in RAW mode and a test print work A-OK. I also set the CUPS
printer que as default.

Below are my printer related smb.conf lines for this PDC.

[global]
...
########## NT Domain Related ##########
    admin users = pianoman ldsinst
...
########## Printing ##########
    printcap name = CUPS
    printing = CUPS

[printers]
    comment = SMB Print Spool
    path = /var/spool/samba
    printable = Yes
    guest ok = Yes
    read only = no
    use client driver = Yes
    browseable = No
    create mode = 0600
...

And I did create /var/spool/samba as follows:

mkdir /var/spool/samba
chmod 0777 /var/spool/samba
chmod o+t /var/spool/samba

I am logged it with both local Admin permissions on the Win2K client and domain
admin in Samba, per above.

Ideas why when going through the add printer wizard, browsing, touching the que
it says access denied?

TIA!

Most Ugly! In Google'ing around it seems this "Access Denied" is a
known issue with Win2K/XP clients, CUPS printers, etc...

So, use printerui.dll to force install the printer driver and assign to a local
LPT1 port. Add a port registry key, and the update the port in two spots under
the printer instance. Finally stop/start
the spooler task. Scrptable yet ugly.

Most Ugly! Ah, Samba team... does this topic need some pizza applied to it?
Please advise.

What's the bug anyway? Something to do with CUPS? It seems there are not
"lots" of people bumping into this, thus makes me think other printing
methods are not affected. I was quite pleased with HOW
EASY this setup was going along, until slamming into the Access Denied issue.
RAW spooling looked way cool, Samba enum'ing the CUPS queues, etc...
