samba - Aug 2003 - Print Options & CUPS - Can't stop watermarking?

Greetings,

I have just set up samba printing with CUPS as the back end. (Samba 
2.2.8a, CUPS 1.1.9)

Everything works great, including automatic driver download/Point -n- 
Print.

The problem is that whenever I print through Samba from a Windows 2000 
Workstation, a watermark gets added to the print job.

The default driver options are set on the server, so that watermarking is 
"off", and new clients that connect get these options.

In CUPS admin, the same options appear.  Printing a test page from CUPS 
admin has no watermark.  Printing directly to the printers (HP LaserJets 
4000 and 8000) via LPR has no watermark.  Printing through the samba 
spool, either with the automatically downloaded drivers I put on the 
print$ share -OR- with locally loaded drivers always results in the 
watermark getting added, even though it's turned of in all concievable 
places.

Any thoughts?

-John

After the printer is installed with point -n- print, the user gets 
whatever the default options on the server were.

The user can indeed then change the _local_ printing defaults, which do 
not effect the global server settings.

I'll e-mail you my config files if you like...

Dear John,

let me ask you a question concerning printing and point and print.

Are your normal users able to change and store the document defaults,
and if so, why? ;-)

If I got to document defaults or the printer properties, everything is
grayed out, allthough the user is a local administrator of my NT box.

You haven't incidentally experienced similar problems, have you?

Best regards.
