Hallo all

I have a Samba and Printer problem...
Site details:
Linux Primary Domain Controller - Samba
Clients - Win XP
Printers - Various shared on the client PCs
Print Server - Samba

Problem:
I have a problem getting NON root/Admin users to print...
1. So PC "A" is a Win XP PC having a shared printer
2. PC "B" (Win Admin User logged on) CAN print to Samba/CUPS printer
shared on PC "A"
3. PC "B" (normal NON Admin user logged on) CAN NOT print to
Samba/CUPS printer shared on PC "A"

I have tried to log on to the Server (on the server) as Root type user
and he CAN print to the Shared printer but a NON root user can not
print to the Shared printer.

So it seems like it is not a WIN problem but the way I have setup the
shared printer on CUPS/Samba, I have followed and looked at a lot of
tutorials but this thing just keeps on being out of reach...

Any Ideas...

ps. I would not be able to come to the Wales release party any longer sorry
