Printer shares question

[Steve Litt]

I'm not much of a proofreader, but your smb.conf looks good to me. Perhaps
it's one of those silly Windows Explorer browsing problems.

Try smbclient -NL servername from the console of the server, and see if you
see both printers there. If not, you know you've got something wrong in
your smb.conf, However, both show up there, you've got one of those little
browsing Network Neighborhood problems often solved by the preferred
master=yes parameter.
