[Samba] can't pause a samba shared printer from w2k pc

[daniel.jarboe at custserv.com]

Two questions...

My only luck, for being able to pause the printers from w2k has been 
with root = MY_DOMAIN+jarboed in the usermap file.  How can I do it 
without a mapping of each printer admin to root in the usermap file?

Also, looks like I can't unpause the printer from w2k.  Though the 
printer queue would pause on linux (if the user was mapped to root, 
which I hope is not the only way to make that work), w2k still shows it 
the printer status as Ready, and "resume" is not in the pop-up menu 
because w2k doesn't know the printer is paused.  So print admin won't be 
able to unpause the printer from w2k, because it doesn't know it isn't 
paused to begin with?

Can samba not do this (RPM install, 2.2.5-1), or is it something funky 
with my installation?

Thanks,
Daniel
