[Samba] Samba 3.4 / 3.5: Printer settings not available for normal users

Hello,

since samba 3.4 we have the problem, that printer options, preconfigured by 
the admin (number of paper trays, output  etc.), are not available for normal 
users. They only see the default settings. Domain Admins and users with 
SePrintOperatorPrivilege doesn't have this problem.

Guenther already started fixing this issue about 3/4 year ago 
(https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6727), but it was never finally 
fixed. :-(

I meanwhile found postings and bug reports on the web about the same or 
similar sounding issues, with different drivers. So it seems, I'm not alone. 
We are having the issue here with Sharp MX-2600n drivers.

Do any others encounter the same problem? Or better: Does anybody found a 
solution?


Regards,
Marc
