Since 3.0.11, privileges have been the way to assign print operator
abilities. You need enable privileges = yes in your smb.conf (a funny
anecdote -- this one bit me about a week ago and I went searching on
Google; I found myself providing this very answer to someone two years
ago).

At any rate, I don't know that those work on workgroups and domains
alike. You could probably find out in the manual, though.
