Hi all

I have this problem:

I've configured "likewise open" module on some Ubuntu pc's to enable Active directory users to log in on linux machines using their windows credentials.
Now I should connect a printer that is shared on a Windows print server. I can do it as root (booting in Linux) providing a valid windows account, but then, when the normal users print from Ubuntu, their prints are sended as they were the user I've chosen at the moment in which I've connected the printer, and not with the user currently logged in. This is a problem for me, because I need to count the print requests user by user, on my windows server (the print server).
Is there any solutions?

thanks
Francesco
