RESOLVED--Re: [Samba] Print Share Problem

[Eric Hines]

The printer stanza has to be _called_ [printers]?  [pserver1]--the name 
[pserver1]--the name of the specific share--isn't sufficient?  If the only 
stanza is [printers], then how does the specific printer get found?

I changed [pserver1] to [printers], and now the correct specific printer 
shows up, but still--my question stands.

Thanks

Eric Hines

Government programs provide enough to keep you alive, but they don't offer 
any hope of living your dreams.
