Hello,
There has been a lot of e-mails about this topic and I am very surprised
it is such a problem, since Samba is supposed to be a print / File
server first and a lot more second.
Yes, I am having problems try to get NON-admin users to cancel there
print jobs.
I have been using samba for years, but non "printer admin" user can not
cancel print jobs all they get is "Accessed denied". I have also tried
setting permissions on the printer device so that "Manage Documents" is
set, but it does not make a difference. The error has nothing to do with
the Solaris printing system, since /usr/bin/cancel is never called.
Error:
smbd[21198]: Permission denied-- user not allowed to delete, pause, or
resume print job. User name: wstudent. Printer name: lp131.

Setup:
Solaris 9 and 10

Question:
- Has anyone got this working, so that non "printer admin" users can
cancel print jobs? I guess it is a knock on effect of moving to the new
print system where samba/Windows XP can load printer drivers
automatically "\\host\printer".
As always, Thanks....
