[Samba] Print server on all linux network

Well, I've licked it.  I upgraded to a more recent version of Samba and it 
took care the problem.  It seems that the version I was using didn't handle 
users correctly in the print que, and there was something wrong with the 
guest setup.  The new version worked out of the box.  

Thanks for all the help, Joel!
