Dear Dave

The easiest way is to use the default printer setup. Then use the 
following examples that i have from this url 
http://www.collaborium.org/onsite/benin/lectures/simone/samba-printing.html

To create a private personal printer add the section:

[privateprn]
comment = pc1 private printer
path = /var/spool/samba
printer = printer1
public = no
writable = no
printable = yes
valid users = pc1

To create a group accessible printer add the section:

[groupprn]
comment = guest user group printer
path = /var/spool/samba
printer = printer1
public = no
writable = no
printable = yes
valid users = @guest
