Printer name bug?

Samba announces the wrong printer name, Brother-HL125 instead of
Brother-HL1250.

o Version:
  samba-2.0.7-4 (RedHat RPM)
o smb.conf
   ...
   printcap name = /etc/printcap
   load printers = yes
   ...
   printing = bsd
   ...
   [printers]
      comment = All Printers
      path = /var/spool/samba
      browseable = no
      guest ok = no
      writable = no
      printable = yes
o /etc/printcap
       
    lp|Brother|Brother-HL1250:\
            :sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\
            :mx#0:\
            :lp=/dev/lp0:\
            :if=/var/spool/lpd/lp/filter:\
            :sh:
o testprn
    $ testprns Brother-HL1250
    Looking for printer Brother-HL1250 in printcap file /etc/printcap
    Printer name Brother-HL1250 is valid.
o Printing to \\<sambaserver>\Brother-HL1250 works.

Samba displays Brother-HL125 as printer-name in Network Neighbourhood,
and printing to this printer obviously doesn't work.
