We are running Redhat Linux 7.3, Samba-2.2.3a-6, LPRng-3.8.9-3
We want our NT/Windows 2000 user to be able to see the printer queue on the
samba server, and remove their own entries from the queue.
We can add individual users or groups to the printer admin list, but how to
we enable everyone to see the queue without giving them too much access.
The following give the small group serstaff the access we want to give to
all our users.
[global]
allow hosts = 155.245.0.0/255.255.0.0
dead time = 15
guest account = nobody
log level = 3
max log size = 100
password server=sernt29 sernt24 sernt25 sernt23
security=DOMAIN
encrypt passwords = yes
server string=Computing Service Print Server %h
status = yes
preferred master = no
preserve case = yes
workgroup = CAMPUS
wins server = wins0
netbios aliases = x34 serpsd
printing = lprng
print command = lpr -r -P%p -R %m %s
[printers]
printer admin = @serstaff
path=/tmp
writable=no
public=no
printable=yes
browseable=yes
If a windows user not in "printer admins" tries to open the printer to
see
the queue he/she is told "Access denied".
Can any one tell me what I need to do.

This may depend on your linux printing software. With LPRng, the /etc/ldp.perms file controls this sort of access.
