That still works (actually the -P is not necessary) as smbclient
sets the device to be "????" rather than "A:".  For printing, the
device has to be either "????" or start with "LPT".  Perhaps
someone who knows a bit more about the smb protocol can explain
this!

I think it's a bug for Samba to believe what the client thinks
the share type is rather than what's in the configuration file.
