OK, after more testing:
The "A policy is in effect on your computer
which prevents you from connecting to this print queue. Please contact
your system administrator." message does indeed show up if a queue's driver has not been loaded by a local admin in the past. This is normal, this is expected.
What I'm experiencing is that occasionally, on a random queue, different every time, some users (that are not local admins) get that message, along with a few other errors saying "The application failed to initialize properly (0xc000001d). Click on OK to terminate the application." for something called SUBINACL.EXE. The queue would still open, but printing wasn't reliable.
I talked to our windows admin about it and he couldn't think of why that was happening, or if they would be related. It is interesting that this only occurs when the machine's account is in an OU that has a lot of group policies applied to it, so it probably has more to do with that than samba. We've run into some other policies that do bad things with SP2 applied (like reboot loops).
