Two things: Samba 2.2.7a has a known serious security hole. Get thee to 2.2.8a at once! Second, Samba now, in the later versions of the 2.2 series, has support for MS-RPC. By default, Samba grants only permissions needed to put jobs into a queue, without any management permissions. You have to log in to the Samba server from a Win2K box as the admin for that server. Select the network printer you want to manage in an Explorer view, right-click, and choose the Security tab. Grant the Everyone group more permissions. Note that admin on the Samba server is NOT the local "Administrator" account on the Win2K box. Normally, this will be "root", whose password is stored in /etc/samba/smbpasswd. NOT the "root" account used to manage the Linux box itself, which really should have a separate password. The newest Samba docs talk about MS-RPC vs. local ACL printers. A recommended read. I'm unsure how up to date PPR 1.50 is vis-a-vis MS-RPC.
