I've had a number of people tell me to change

     browseable = no

to
 
     browseable = yes

Now, when it is "no" and I look at the fileserver using the Network
Neighborhood on NT, I see a folder called "Printers", which is empty. 
When I change it to "yes", I then see a new printer called "Printer" as
well as a folder called "Printer".

So I don't think that this is the solution.
