[Samba] Samba priting problem, might be windows printer defintion

[Jørgen Kold]

Hi Sunmanagers

I still have a problem with my samba printing mechanism.
When I log on some windows machines it will not print. I have found out 
that when I print from some machines while the print queu is stopped 
then the jobs are saved there as root. When I print from other machines 
they are saved as my name.
I can print from dos by using echo something > \\server\printer.
I can print with smbclient
There are only problem when I print directly from Windows.
I think it can be the  windows printer definition since I can print from 
dos.
Do you have any idears?

Jorgen
