[Samba] printing problem

[Joel Hammer]

Glad to have helped.

I would say when I first began fooling with linux, about 1/3 of all my
problems were due to permissions. After two or three or four years, about
1/3 of all my problems are due to permissions, only now I assume any problem
is a permissions problem and check them out first!
