[Samba] trouble printing to samba share

[Rizzo, Joe]

I can print to the printer with lpr.

I upgraded to samba-2.2.5-1.  

My linux box has 2 nics.
Now when I browse and try to access the printer,
\\<external_address>\printer_share is referenced, rather than the internal
ip address.

Thanks,
Joe

are you able to print the linux test pages? 

what printing backend does redhat 7.3 use? 
(cups, lprng?)
