do all win$ users have printing permission problem ?
what about running samba with a non-zero debug option trying to catch more
information ?
are samba users (signons) valid unix' ones ?
did you try "read only=no" in the printer shares ?
maybe could you try a "force user=root" in the printer shares ?
