Hi,
I am running samba 3.0.21c (Sernet packages on Debian Sarge) and trying
to automatically share cups printers via "load printers = Yes"
- Printing seems to work if you install the printers on the client by
calling con2prt.exe, but
- the printers do not appear as shares when browsing the network
neighbourhood or calling "net view \\servername" on the client.
- They do appear, if I include an explicit section for each printer
in smb.conf
Bug or feature?
My configuration options:
[global]
...
printcap name = cups
cups server = localhost
printing = CUPS
load printers = Yes
...
[printers]
comment = SMB print spool
path = /var/spool/samba
guest ok = yes
printable = yes
browseable= yes
use client driver = no
Kind regards,
Wolfgang Ratzka
