In that case, surely you just implement a guideline that the users must 
print to file onto a samba share and do a force user / group / mask on that

I am not a member of the samba team,
and anything that I say may not be as
accurate as a response from one of the
team.  I reply to save those more
qualified time, which can more usefully
be spent developing SAMBA further.
