samba - Jun 2005 - more on ailing printer system

I cranked the debug level to 10.  Below is a transcript from the client log 
file of a client trying to open a Properties dialog for the HP 4500 
printer.  I am puzzled as to why Samba would be looking for a user with the 
name of a printer.  Is this normal behavior?  Anyway, about a minute after 
the last log entry below, the client showed a dialog "Printer properties 
cannot be displayed...".

Would a specific section for each printer be appropriate to get my system 
back on its feet?

Thanks,
Chuck

What is the name of your printer spool on the unix side?  Perhaps something
without spaces?  What would happen if you renamed your printer to not have
spaces, like hp4500?  I don't know if it applies currently but there are
some references on the web to the 2.2 series that cannot handle spaces in
printer names.
