Hi all,... ...currently I am trying to get the following setup up and working here: * capisuite (www.capisuite.de) works as an isdn/capi-based fax solution for the LAN. * cups is used as printer spooler, there is some "glue" package to access capisuite through cups, thus generating a "print-to-fax" solution. * since the clients in the LAN still are all Windows NT 4, samba is supposed to provide print services to everyone around. Problem: I set up one user to fax through capisuite, and I actually intended to set up a printer in samba, doing something, like [printers] ... force user = printfax force group = printfax ... to assign all print jobs to the fax user. For short: This is not working; testparm doesn't complain but yet the "force ..." directives are simply ignored, print jobs always started using the user account that was starting the job at the workstation. Samba: storage:/usr/src# dpkg -l|grep samba ii samba 3.0.2a-1 a LanManager-like file and printer ii samba-common 3.0.2a-1 Samba common files used.. ii samba-doc 3.0.2a-1 Samba documentation Can anyone point me where to go / peek / read to get this problem solved? TIA, have a fine afternoon everyone. Kris -- Kristian Rink -- Programmierung/Systembetreuung planConnect GmbH * Strehlener Str. 12 - 14 * 01069 Dresden 0176 24472771 * krink@pm-planc.de

So, in case someone knows about this problem, I'd be thankful for any inspiration, and even a "force-doesn't-work-there" would be _very_ appreciated.
