I'm experiencing the same problem: jobs are spooled as either 'nobody'
or the authenticated user, and the print command is invoked as either
'nobody' or the authenticated user. When they don't match, printing
fails because the print command can't read the job.

I can't reproduce the problem on demand, but it typically happens
about 5 times a day.

Clients: Windows NT 4 Workstation with Service Pack 6a

Server:  samba-2.2.4-2.i386.rpm (from the samba download site)
         on RedHat Linux 6.2
