I'm having a problem with a Samba PDC box that only lets users who are
defined by "admin users =" to print to any of the printers. As an
interim solution I just threw my @staff group in there, but of course
this lets everyone access everyone elses files :)
Here is one of my printer configs: As you can see, I tried to set every
flag I could think of to let anyone write to this.
[optra]
comment = Tech Area
path = /var/spool/lpd/optra
printer name = optra
writable = yes
browseable = yes
public = yes
printable = yes
guest ok = yes
valid users = @staff
write list = @staff
print command = lpr -P %p %s; rm %s
Is there something I'm missing here? If a user isn't defined as an
admin, they cannot access this printer. I've searched extensively, and
haven't been able to find anything online.
Thanks in advance!

Have you checked the permissions on the spool directory?
