[Samba] paid-for-print

[Julian Tzonev]

Thanks a lot for information. I'm going to check URLs ...

I have enough time to wait, but I don't know if U have enough time to spend for
this.
Nevertheless, I think that "paid-for-print" funcionality of Samba would be very
usefull not only for me.
Thanks again.

Best regards,
Julian
