[Samba] Printer drivers

[Fabian von Romberg]

Hi Johan,

I had the same proble where I could not see any share.  I solved it by putting the following under [print$]

browseable = yes


I dont know if this is the only way.  If there is any other alternative, please let anybody know.

Thanks and regards,
Fabian
