samba - Sep 2006 - samba with cups / security = share

Hi,
I have a new samba/cups printer server. The security is set to SHARE so everyone
in the network can add and print to our printers even if they doesn't have
any
account on the server. To be able to upload printer drivers one need to log in
as administrator, but one can't do that unless the security is set to USER
and
a login screen appears. During this time everyone is locked out from all
printers. Does anyone have a suggestion on how I can solve this problem?

This doesn't work for me:
net use t: \\server\print$ /user:administrator

I won't support driver download and 'security = share'.
I would suggest you look at how to configure guest access
for security = user.
