[Samba] Printing problem

I currently have Samba set up in a test environment. Samba is installed
and running on a Unix box, Solaris 8. I have one workstation which I use
to access it. I have created three identical users: User1, User2, User3.
I have a printer installed on the Unix box. All three users can see the
shares (including the printer) while browsing the tree. The problem is
when I login to the workstation as User1 printing works just fine but I
have no success printing as User2 or User3. Any suggestions on how to
resolve this? Here's a copy of my smb.conf.
