samba - Oct 2002 - Printing only as admin?

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?
