[techtalk] Printing from Linux using Samba 2.0.8 to Win2K

I've had my Linux box using Samba 2.0.8 printing to a WinNT 4.0 server 
for some time without a problem.  Well, today "they" decided to move the 
printer from the WinNT machine (which is also the PDC) to a Win2K box 
(that is part of the domain, but is not a controller).  Now, having made 
the appropriate changes to the print host and share names in my print 
config, I can't print anything.  In debugging, I attempted to connect to 
the printer with smbclient using my username and password, my username 
and a bad password, and with no password at all (hitting enter when it 
prompted me for one).  The detailed results are below, but in summary, 
the first two failed with the same message and the third gave me an 
"Anonymous login successful " message before failing with the same 
message as the other two.  If anyone can shed some light on what is 
happening here, I would greatly appreciate it.
