Don't worry about it unless it keeps you from actually printing. I have an Epson 800 on my samba server and I also have the "access denied" statement on all of the windows workstations. They still can print to it, and they have for three years now. I think the reason for the error message is because there is no two-way communication between the windows workstations and the printer. As far as the password thing is concerned, you'll have to create a user account on the Linux box, then add that user as a samba user by typing smbpasswd -a user at the command prompt. Then you'll have to set up that same user on your windows box, and run from that user account.

I think you can use winbind to keep track of windoze usernames etc. Do you have a password server on your domain? If so you can set your security setting to "domain" and use that server for authentication.
