[Samba] PDF Print command

Unfortunately that's no good on NT 4.0 -- the file gets written with the
same privilages as the print driver, which means local Administrator.
Unless I gave admin privilages to every user they'd be unable to manipulate
the resulting files.  If you're not running NT, or don't mind your users
having administrator privilages, it works great, though.

Incidentally, fair warning -- it seems to be impossible to completely
uninstall RedMon once you've installed it.  At least, it was on my system.

Martyn,

I tried running a server-level pdf printer and ran into some of the same
issues you have dealt with.  Ultimately I decided to stick with a
client-side implementation by installing Ghostscript and RedMon
(http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/redmon/) on the client system.  Has been
working great for me since.
