samba - Feb 2002 - <printer-name> on <netbios-name> Access denied, unable to connect

My formerly working samba(2.2.2)/lprng(3.8.2) system has recently gone
odd.  After printing documents from a Win2k client, the system tray
printer icon sticks around (forever) with a mouse-over message that says
"1 document(s) pending for <username>".  When I double click on
the system
tray printer icon, the queue window appears to be empty, but the titlebar
says "<printer-name> on <netbios-name> Access denied, unable to
connect".
My print jobs print just fine, though.  Ideas...?

Thanks,

Matthew

See the "use client driver" parameter for a hint of what might be 
happening.

Okay, I read the smb.conf man page, and it sounds like I should either
use "use client driver = yes" or install the driver on the Samba host.

1. When I use "use client driver = yes", the printer spool window
shows a
ghost job called smb.prn with status "Paused".  I cannot Cancel or
Restart
the job, and there is no file called smb.prn on my Samba host or anything
in my UNIX print queue.

2. When I follow the instructions to install the driver onto the Samba
host using the Windows "Add New Printer" wizard (after creating a
[print$]
share, etc.) I get a message saying that I need to install files from my
Windows 2000 Server CD.  Having no such CD (and not planning to purchase
one) I cancel.

Oh, and yes -- it seems I lied.  My formerly working setup was 2.0.x.
This is what happens when you "apt-get upgrade" at 2:00 AM.

Thanks,

Matthew
