Subject:   repost: owner is unable to delete print job

I posted this a few days ago and have gotten no replies so far.

Samba set up as a print server on FreeBSD.  All users mapped to
"nobody" but nobody can't delete a print job once it's created it.
lpq show that the print job belongs to nobody, but if user nobody
tries to lprm it, permission is denied.

I believe I've determined that this is _not_ a samba problem, as
I tweaked the nobody account to allow login and tried deleting
print jobs from the console.  lpq shows the job belonging to 
"nobody", but lprm returns "permission denied".

Is there anything special about the "nobody" user that would cause
this?
