Hi all,
         I have setup with linux samba-server(ver 2.2.1a) as my
print-server under user security model with printer access allowed only
for a few users. It's so happening that samba is allowing any users to
fire print jobs on the shared printers,even those users who are not in
the valid users list. 
However it is fine with normal shared folders ,where only the valid user
are able to watch the shared-folders. 

Any idea why this happening , is there some bug in this version.
below is the smb.conf I'm using.

[global]
security=user
netbios name=PRINT-SERVER
workgroup=WORKGROUP
load printers=yes
printer admin=user
printcap name=/etc/printcap
printing=cups
[print$]
path=/usr/local/samba/print
read only=yes
browseable=no
guest ok=yes
write list=user
[Lexmark]
path=/var/disk1/print/spool
read only=no
valid users= ABC XYZ
max connections=50
printer=prn
printable=yes
browseable=yes
comment=Lexmark  Z700-P700 Serie
