Re-2: [Samba] Samba 3.0.9 doesn't remove printjobs ?

Can you be a little more specific about the "access rights" you changed?
Were they CUPS rights or Samba rights?  What did you change them to?

No one here (except for myself) ever accesses the web front-end for CUPS, we
simply use the Windows printer queues.

Thanks in advance,
Kevin
