[Samba] printer giving Access Denied

[Andrew Gaffney]

I have 2 printer queues setup on my samba 3.0.6 NT4-style PDC. About a month 
ago, one of them stopped working due to an issue with CUPS. After restarting 
CUPS, printing to that share was giving Access Denied. From a windows box, I was 
able to add drivers and set default print settings as a domain administrator but 
I still couldn't print. I created a new printer share pointing at the same CUPS 
printer with the same configuration and the new one worked.

In my smb.conf snippet below, the non-working printer share had the same 
settings as 'jetdirect' but with the printer of 'minimike'. 'jetdirect' has 
never given me a problem and 'minimike' worked from the moment I created the 
share. The current 'minimike' settings are scaled down from what it was when I 
first created it. Can anyone think of a reason why this would happen?

[jetdirect]
        printer = jetdirect
        comment = Hallway printer
        printable = yes
        writeable = yes
        public = yes
        printer admin = @domainadmins
        guest ok = yes
[minimike]
        printer = hp4200
        printable = yes
        read only = no
        printer admin = @domainadmins
