samba - Nov 2007 - Howto modify samba printer ACLs without Windows?

Hi all,

I would like to limit access to our samba shared printers to certain 
user groups by commandline without using Windows. Is this possible?
Thanks!

Thanks, but the manpage says:

"The smbcacls program manipulates NT Access Control Lists (ACLs) on SMB 
file shares."

Is there a trick to make this work for printer shares?

Yes, you have to create a share per printer... saddly... I have the same
problem.
I have 400 printers and I need to do the same thing you are trying to do
with no luck.

Tell me if you find a solution to this.

Have either of you tried setting the permissions on \\server\Printer? Since this
is the way that I see WinXP try to do when I access a printer.

Yes! I found this! Is great.
Know im working on a script to parse the printers.conf from the cups and
make the shares in samba. You need a share per printer to assing
privilegies like you suggest.
