Hello I have this problem with printing to a HP Laser Jet 4L set up on my linux box which is the local samba server for the intranet. I can only print as root or as a user admin user = thatuser. I need to be able to set a password for the printer and only those users to use the printer who know the password. Or a similar solution. As ordinary user Windows98 says:

Just setup Fedora 7, Samba is sharing files for Windows XP users, Samba is sharing printers too - the user's can add new printers to their XP machines, but when they try to print they get various messages, (Including no message at all) and no printouts. Remote printing can be done by a Mac, using lpr printing. Also local users can print using lpr. Have included my smb.conf file.
