Hi,
I'm running samba 3.0.1 on SuSE9, server is configured as member server in a 
NT4 controlled domain.

now the problem:
it's possible to upload drivers;
it's possible to set default settings/ setting printer configuration;

Client:
add new printer -> network printer -> browse for network printers , and  here 
is the problem, the samba isn't shown as a print server, it's displayed in 
the network browser but not if want to add a new printer. the printers are 
shown in the "normal" network browser if I click on the samba server.

regards manfred
