[Samba] some simple samba problems

[Shawn D. Kelly]

OMFG you just made my night.  I have been grueling over the issue where my
printer connected to RH9 would not show up to my WXP box.  I just checked
the line you have 'printcap name = cups' and it immediately showed up.

I am a bit annoyed at the Red Hat 9 documentation which basically states
that once you run the Samba graphical configuration program, you are golden
for sharing to Windows.  Bah.

I put too much faith in documentation :)

If you are using cups, why not tell samba about it?
In smb.conf, try

printing = cups
printcap name = cups
load printers = yes

instead of
