Sure it does. :-)  To use the APW, you have to define an
'add printer program =' hook to create the smb.conf entry.
As it stands now, I do not see any printers defined in
smb.conf so you will have to use this parameter.

ok.  Thanks. I see the problem and can fix this fairly 
easily.  Will look at it later this week I hope.
The problem is in the enum_printers() reply when the server
has nothing to say.  It's a bounds checking bug.

See the 'add printer program' comment above.  You can
use the addprint command with this **if** you use the 
sharename of an existing printer.  See the imprints installation
for examples (use the --enable-debug to see all the smbclient
and rpcclient commands).


btw...My apolgies.  A quick look shows that the mention
of the interaction between the APW and the add printer program
parameter go left of of the Printing HOWTO.  I'll correct this
today and post a link for obtaining the latest version of
Samba-HOWTO-Collection.pdf.
