The default printer share will be $. But an actual printer shows up 
without the $.

I am guessing the $ is a remote procedure call function, not an actual 
share. Ie. it serves the purpose of returning information, but not of 
returning an actual share. Windows will probably never show them, but 
will use them behind the scenes.

Just my 2 cents. Nothing to worry about.
