Subject:   Owner is unable to remove print job

Set up a FreeBSD server as a print server for Windows clients
using samba.  Once the print job is spooled, users are unable to
remove the job from the windows client.  At first I thought this was
a samba problem, but a little research proved otherwise.
Samba is configured so that everyone who connects is mapped
to user "nobody".  I changed the nobody account so that I could
log in with it and then attempted to use lprm(1) to remove a job
that someone had started.  I received a "permission denied" error,
but was able to remove the job as root.
lpq(1) showed that the print job belonged to user nobody, so why
can't nobody remove it?

p.s. please c.c. me in all replies as I'm not currently subscribed.
