I found something on the internet. In older versions each printer was a separate share and in smb.conf this is in fact still the case. Each printer has its own section [lp1], etc If you just put 'valid users = ' in the printer's section, this should still be working. Users can still print to a printer they are not allowed to print to, but nothing will happen. They don't even get a message. Why they left the valid users option out of SWAT I don't know.
