You change the settings on the server with a user who has SePrintOperatorPrivileges ( see http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/rights.html ) in most caes Administrator. when changes are made, they are for all users. users can override the settings with there own settings of the printer. >4.
