samba - Mar 2002 - Configuring SMB print shares for "Everyone" access

Hello everyone,

     I am having some problems with my printing via smb to a Windows shared 
printer.  My problem is that we have a winnt machine that shares a printer 
on our network and I am trying to configure my linux machine to print to 
that printer without using any validation.  The win machine is part of our 
domain and everything (including my linux  machine) is validated off of our 
PDC.  Is there a way I can configure the "script.cfg" file that RedHat
uses
to print via SMB?  Can I somehow use the "Everyone" group to print to
the
printer?  The reason I ask is that I am helping my school setup a linux lab 
that has a network printer controlled by a WinNT server.  I would like to 
make it so that everyone can print without giving seperate validation.  
Thanks in advance.

Mike

I was able to allow all our users to print to a W2k shared 
printer by enabling the Guest account on the W2k pc.
