[Samba] printers don't show up as shares

[Darren Creutz]

For clarification, when I say I can't see them I mean using smbclient 
all I see is the standard IPC$ shares, no printers.  However, in 
/var/log/samba/log.smbd :

[2004/05/26 21:31:09, 3] param/loadparm.c:lp_add_printer(2405)
   adding printer service BrotherHL1440

which is the printer I have connected.  Is this a change or bug in 
smbclient perhaps?

Thanks again,
Darren
