[Samba] Printing permissions problem

[Manuel Capinha]

What the about the users in the other groups, can they print ?

You should try looking into the cups logs and samba log, as those will
give you the answer to why this user can't print.

If you need, increase the verbose level in the smbd.conf with
Log level = 5

And in the cups cupsd.conf with
LogLevel debug


Hope this helps,
MC
