samba - Nov 2002 - Access denied when trying to access printer

I'm trying to set up a print server in a workgroup environment attaching to
windows 2000 machines
the server seems to be able to write to public directories on the hard drive
with no problem
but when I try to install the printers on the local machines
the printer I just set up under the printers folder is giving me the message
Access denied, unable to connect 

the arguments I have set up under the printers option in the smb.conf are as
follows

[printers]
    comment = All Printers
    path = /var/spool/samba
    browseable = no
    public = yes
    guest ok = yes
    writeable = no
    printable = yes
    printer admin = root

also I have 
 map to guest = BAD USER
in the [global] section of the smb.conf file

any ideas why the printer options on the server are giving me problems?

Few questions... Have you looked at the Samba-HOWTO-Collection (4th
bullet of the "New Samba documentation" at samba.org) for setting up
print?  What samba?  What OS?  What printing sub-system?  One thing you
might want to check if you use RH 7.x linux (uses LPRng print
sub-system), is /etc/lpd.perms for potentially restrictive settings.
Are you able to print to the printers but see this message, or are you
unable to print anything at all?  Have you looked at the
Samba-HOWTO-Collection (4th bullet of the "New Samba documentation" at
samba.org) for setting up print?  ;)
