[Samba] Samba 2.2.4 and PRINT$

[Edmund J. Sutcliffe]

Hi,
	when I try to open \\copper\print$ with a UNC path, it asks the
following
	"Before you can use the printer \\copper\print$ it must be set up
	on your computer, Do you want Windows to set up the printer and
	continue this operation ?"
So I'm unable to check if I can write to it with that share name. But if I
point another share at the same place I can write to it
