I have samba 3.0.11 with CUPS printing on a Solaris system with WindowsXP clients and have a proble setting up printing. Rather, a problem restricting printing.
Printing works fine in that anyone with a username on the samba server can print. However, I want a specific printer to be restricted to only users in a specific group. Using SWAT I can see no way of doing this because there is only "hosts allow" and "hosts deny", even using "Advanced". Looking at the man page for smb.conf I see parameters like "write list" and "valid users" as share level parameters. When I try "valid users = user" in a printer share it does just what I want. However, as soon as I make a change to the share using SWAT it removes the "valid users" parameter and opens the printer to everyone! Is there a particular reason for this unfortunate behaviour.
