Both of your problems would be solved by using the Samba server as a PDC, and enabling encrypted passwords. The problem with printing is well-known, and due (as far as I have seen) to the way printing is done in NT - it doesn't like connecting to a printer on a new server, not sharing the current passwords. The problem of the prompt is due to your use of plain-text passwords. You seem worried about security, yet why do you allow plain-text passwords on your network? MS is also worried about security, and hence the need to apply registry hacks, and the re-enter the password. At the very least, move to encrypted passwords, but if you moved to a 'domain' (no matter how trivial) all the servers would automatically share the password database, and they would not prompt you any more.
