[Samba] samba+cups failure - no printers in the share list

[Martin Zielinski]

Hi!

Self compiled Samba?
Does "ldd smbd" has a link to libcups?
If you have a smbd that is linked to libcups and cups is running, it 
will work!

Only reason why it wouldn't could be access rights in your cups 
configuration.

After you verified, that libcups is used, it might be a good idea to 
increase the log level of samba and cups and examine the logfiles. They 
might contain the information you need.

Bye,

Martin
