Change the permissions on /var/spool/samba to be world writable (with the sticky bit set) and you'll be able to print fine...

Here's the problem: clients that already have a Windows machine with the printer installed (through Samba, several months ago) can print just fine. However, any client trying to add, view, or do anything with a printer *now* always receive a message stating "Access is denied."
When I double-click on the printer to add: "Could not connect to the printer. Access is denied."
If I right-click on a printer under "Printers", and click on properties: "Printer properties cannot be displayed. Access is denied."
If I try to view the print queue, I see in the title bar: "Access is denied, unable to connect."
No matter what I do, I seem unable to do anything with printers, regardless of privileges. Syslog entries, even at max logging, show nothing out of the ordinary. This leads me to belive that it's file permissions, but those have all been checked. Here are the relevant sections of smb.conf.
/etc/samba/smb.conf: -------------------------------------------- workgroup = ikobo domain master = true local master = true domain logons = true preferred master = true os level = 65
load printers = yes printing = cups printcap name = cups max print jobs = 100 lpq cache time = 20 use client driver = yes printer admin = @wheel show add printer wizard = yes
[printers] comment = All Printers printable = yes path = /var/spool/samba browseable = no writable = no
[print$] comment = Printer Drivers path = /var/local/samba/drivers browseable = yes read only = yes write list = @wheel --------------------------------------------
Here are permissions on a few relevant directories:
hank:/var/cache/samba/printing# ls -la drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Oct 2 15:32 . drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Oct 2 15:32 .. -rw------- 1 root root 24576 Oct 2 15:31 LaserJet_1300n.tdb -rw------- 1 root root 24576 Oct 2 15:31 ML-1710.tdb -rw------- 1 root root 24576 Oct 2 15:31 printers.tdb
hank:/var/spool/samba# ls -la drwxrwsr-x 2 root users 4096 Oct 2 15:12 . drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096 May 17 10:14 ..
hank:/var/local/samba/drivers# ls -la drwxrwxr-x 4 root wheel 4096 May 19 09:39 . drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096 Oct 2 15:11 .. drwxrwxr-x 3 root wheel 4096 Oct 2 15:11 W32X86 drwxrwxr-x 3 root wheel 4096 May 19 09:39 WIN40
Does anyone know why I am having these problems? Nothing I do seems to work.
