[Samba] Error when trying to print with point and print installed drivers

I have an Ubuntu Sever 9.10 setup running Samba as a PDC for a bunch of
Windows clients.
Everything is functioning perfectly except for the point and print delivery
of printer drivers.

I have tested this with Ubuntu 9.10's Samba (3.4.0) and two of the Debian
Samba packages (3.4.3 and 3.4.5). All seem to demonstrate the same problem.


*What works:*
Adding a printer and manually installing the drivers to the client works
perfectly.

Installing drivers and associating them to printers shared by Samba works
fine via the Windows GUI and the rpcclient tool. Adding the printer to a
Windows client also appears to work, i.e. the driver downloads, installs and
the printer is visible.

*What doesn't:*
Unfortunately when trying to print using the point and print configured
printer a generic 'failed to print' message is returned by Windows.


In the Samba logs there is the following error (this occurs when opening
preferences and trying to print):

Finally here is the relevant shares in smb.conf:
(I have tried 'use client driver' yes/no and experienced the same
result)

[printers]
   comment = All Printers
   path = /var/spool/samba
   browseable = no
   printable = yes
   guest ok = no
   read only = yes
   create mask = 0700
   # use client driver = yes

[print$]
   comment = Printer Drivers
   path = /var/lib/samba/printers
   browseable = yes
   read only = yes
   guest ok = no
   write list = root, @"Domain Admins"
   force create mode = 0664
   force directory mode = 0664


Permissions are setup fine for /var/lib/samba/printers.
I have granted Domain admins the SePrintOperatorPrivilege.

Any help/advice would be appreciated, but the issue is more of an annoyance
than a major issue.

Just a follow up - based on Jeremy's response to the 64bit Windows printing
question:
http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2010-January/153456.html

I have 'downgraded' to the Samba 3.3.10 packages provided by SerNet:
http://enterprisesamba.org/

Point and print works without any issues with this version and we don't have
to jump through hoops to get printers on the 64bit machines working.
The only downer is one of the Windows 7 desktops is refusing to join the
domain, but I'm hoping one of the many registry tweaks around should fix
that...
