Thanks,

That makes sense; but why not something like:
  \\server\::{shared-printers-folder}

or something more appropriate instead of the long complex (In my
terms) numbers.
Unless those numbers need to be setup in samba as the share name or
something.

Say having a lookup table to replace with more human readable terms
and default to the GUID numbers when we don't actually have a lookup
may be another approach.
