[Samba] Samba print permissions for specific users/groups wanted

[smbmail]

I found something on the internet.
In older versions each printer was a separate share and in smb.conf this is
in fact still the case.
Each printer has its own section [lp1], etc
If you just put 'valid users = ' in the printer's section, this should still
be working.
Users can still print to a printer they are not allowed to print to, but
nothing will happen. They don't even get a message.
Why they left the valid users option out of  SWAT I don't know.
