[Samba] printing permissions problem

Hello,

I have a strange problem with cups and samba.  I have a Windows ME computer 
trying to print to my linux box (SuSE 8.1).  From what I can tell, the print 
job makes it to the server and lpr is run.  However, lpr is run as nobody, 
and cups doesn't seem to like this, because when I su to nobody and try to 
run lpr, it asks for a password.

How would I get cups to not require a password for nobody?
