[Samba] CUPS username case wrong from Windows 98 client

[Mr David Munro]

I have a problem getting Windows 98 clients printing to CUPS printers
where I have the printer access allowed/denied by username. It appears
that samba is passing the username in uppercase to CUPS as the owner of
the printjob and then CUPS does not recognise that username and rejects
the job. It all works under Windows NT/XP.

I am running samba 3.0.20 and cups 1.1.23. The smb.conf file is below

# Samba config file created using SWAT

This is the relevant entries from the cups error log

Here samba is converting the username as passed from Win 98 in upper
case to lower case for authentication but it still passes the upper case
username to CUPS. I've turned the debug level up to 20 but I still can't
find any log message showing where that is.

  check_ntlm_password:  authentication for user [PHS1DM] -> [PHS1DM] ->
[phs1dm] succeeded
