Printing without authenticating

Another quick Samba question:
I've set up 4-5 shared printers. The smb.conf section on them looks like
this:
[las7]
comment = HP LaserJet 4siMX in S181A
path = /var/spool/samba
postscript = yes
printer = las7_direct
printable = yes
public = yes
writable = no
create mode = 0700
I want people to be able to print to these printers without having to
supply a password. I've got the guest account set up in the global
section:
guest account = guest
Printing is fine once the user authenticates to the samba server. Is it
possible to have samba print as guest if the user does not authenticate?
Thanks,
Wade
