[Samba] Printers Showing up on Alternate Server Names

[Chris Smith]

I am having the same problem using Samba 3.0.7 w/ FC2.
This only started happening recently, and is happening on 3 servers. I
hadn't seen it happen on 3.0.4. Nothing else has changed.

Thanks,

Hi all,
 
I am running samba 3.0.6.  I am having an issue on my print server regarding
how the printer ends up registering itself on the Windows clients.  We have
a machine named "bob", "bob" has an alias both in DNS and in the netbios
name in Samba of "printserver", "bob" has an IP address of 192.168.1.1.  In
a seemingly random fashion sometimes when I add a printer on a new client
machine by specifying the printer with \\printserver\Reception to specify
the "Reception" printer, it shows up as "Reception on herm" or "Reception on
192.168.1.1" or "Reception on printserver" (this would be the desired
result, which does sometimes occur).  Does anyone have an idea why this
might be occurring?  Is it a common problem with Samba or do we have
something setup wrong somewhere?
 
Thanks,
 
Chris
