Hmm, yes, tried that. cupsaddsmb still wanted to authenticate root. I've set 

[printers]
.....
    guest ok = yes
.....
    printer admin = hulst

 [print$]
...
# (just to be sure, set it back later)
    guest ok = yes 
    read only = yes
    write list = hulst

And I still got:
# cupsaddsmb -U hulst -a -v
Password for root required to access localhost via SAMBA:

Now, since it was pretty late yesterday, it might be that I forgot to restart 
smb, but I'm pretty sure I did.

No I didn't. That might have helped. It is true that I made a mess of the 
authentication yesterday, because I couldn't get it to work.
