[Samba] Samba and Win2k: Printing from Outlook Express

[Wolfgang Hottgenroth]

Hi,


we are operating the IT of a small non-profit organization with a Samba
server (2.2.5) and roughly 15 Win2k workstations. Everything works
fine so far but one single issue: Printing messages from Outlook
Express: only the header of the mail is printed, no single line of the body.

All the domain users are standard-users (I'm not sure about the
correct English wording, may be someone could help: the German word is
Standard-Benutzer) on the workstations. And for every of these users
printing from Outlook Express fails in the above mentioned way. Never
mind whether a local or a network printer is used. As soon as I make
the user a "Haupt-Benutzer" (please help again, what is the correct
English word?) he/she can print from Outlook Express correctly.

Sounds this familiar to someone of you? Or does anyone have a hint
concerning the smb.conf below related to this problem?


Thank you very much,
Wolfgang
