Thanks to the help here and hints over on the SME forum, I got printing
working.
Basically you have to be logged in on the domain with an admin user and
THEN install the printer drivers.
So first I had to unistall the drivers, using a local admin user account.
Then I had to log in to the domain with an admin user. For this I
needed the line:
admin users = user1
And I had to spell that right (I had 'admin user' and I did not note any
error in starting smb services).
Then I installed the driver from this user and it could print. I could
then log in with a non-admin user and they could also print.
So anyone that has some control over wiki content for Samba might want
to put this in for local printer installs:
At least if your printer is a network attached printer and you are
printing directly to it, you install the printer drivers while logged in
as a domain admin user.

It looks like a domain user has NO printing permission.
Do I need Policy Editor for this? Where do I get it to run on an XP
Pro
system?
I have seen various notes about this, but I can't make head or
tails of
them.
Robert,
Have a look at
http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Implementing_System_Policies_with_Samba
This explains deployment of system policy through samba 3.X. It also
outlines the difference between system policy and group policy
You can still use Local Group Policy (through gpedit.msc), but as
the name suggests its local to every machine, and not deployable
from the Domain Controller.
What good is it to know how to implement a policy for all computers
on the domain if you don't know what policy is giving you the problem?
How do I troubleshoot this blockage. All I get is the print failure
when using a domain user.
Robert,
Are any of the group policies in the following section set? A
previous email stated you were looking at templates under "Computer
Configuration", so check under
*User Configuration*\Administrative Templates\Control Panel\Printers

If you using samba4 have a look at
http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba4/HOWTO#Step_1:_Installing_Windows_Remote_Administration_Tools_onto_Windows
These tools include Group Policy Management console that works very
well with samba4
