Adding "use client driver = yes" to the [printers] section in smb.conf
cured the "Access denied" symptom, but, unfortunately is *not* the whole
story.
Trying to print anything from WinXP (including the Test Page) results in an
"unable to create print job" error with some uneventful log in cups
(AcceptClient...ReadClient...ProcessIPPRequest...ReadClent...ProcessIPPRequest...CloseClient):
HHHEEEELLLPPPP!!!!
