Hi Volker

The user whyteb is my windows username on my corporate machine.  It 
should be an anonymous print out as I share my printers to anyone on my 
local network or I am trying to.

The /home/ben directory is a local filesystem on the CUPS box.

The permissions on /home/ben/PDFS/ are drwx------ ben ben
The permissions on /home/ben/ are drwxr-xr-x ben ben
The permisions on /home are drwxr-xr-x root root.
