Originally we would blindly write the global_myname() string 
into the RPC replies in the spoolss code.  This caused our 
testers a lot of problems when the windows client was using 
an IP address instead of a name.  This also made the printing code work 
with netbios aliases I think.

Hmmm...now that I think about it, %L should be the netbios name
used by the client so I think *SMBSERVER (or *SMBSERV) is what 
it should have been.  In this case, I'm not sure your change 
was the right thing to do.  Do you follow me ?
