This is normal (the log message).  smbd defers to explicitly
defined shares in smb.conf.  We create one if [printers] exists
and the requested name can be validated by the printing subsystem.

Note that there were significant changes to this area between
3.0.10 and 3.0.11 (for the better).  I would recommend testing
3.0.11 (or 3.0.12rc1).

btw....you don't really give any details about  how 'no printing
is possible'



ciao, jerry
