Okay.

There were some print fixes AND security vulnerabilities fixed since that version and 2.2.8a. There are publicly circulating samba root exploits for versions of samba previous to 2.2.8a, you should upgrade to the latest RH 8 errata for samba.

Lets take a step back for a moment. Can the laptops access other samba services, like a file share? Also you didn't tell me what security mode your smb.conf is set up as. Are the w98 laptops in the same workgroup as your w2k and NT boxen if they need to be? Dec 2 was kind of awhile ago, but can you think of any samba changes, or windows networking changes you made since then?
