Using include to change the printer shares

Setup
-------
Samba version: 1.9.18p8
Server: Solaris 2.6
Clients: 100 Win95/8 machines
The Samba server is used only to handle printing to 10 laser
printers.
My clients are in two different classes.
90 are in classrooms where they should not use
authentication
10 are in a PC lab where they should use
authentication
I have two different [printers] definitions, one which
allows guest printing and another which does not. I would
like to be able to use an if/then/else type of syntax to get
the different [printers] share loaded:
if %M is in this list then
include /etc/smb.printerA
else
include /etc/smb.printerB
Is this possible? If it is not, then can I redefine the
[printers] share? I would guess that if the machine is in
the list that are not supposed to support guest printing
then I could include the non-guest definition, and this
would (hopefully) overwrite the standard one:
[printers]
standard (guests allowed) printers
share defined here
;this other file has the non-guests definition
include /etc/smb.printer.%M
Thanks,
Dan
