Martin, or should I say 'Ham13', you could have posted a copy of the
smb.conf you posted here:

Never mind what Linux Mint says, you should get used to no network
browsing, it is going away, even Windows has deprecated it, it wasn't
something Samba decided to do of their own initiative.

If you have created this file: /etc/avahi/services/samba.service
Then I would strongly suggest you delete it.

Try your smb.conf like this:

# Global parameters
[global]
    dns proxy = No
    log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
    map to guest = Bad User
    max log size = 1000
    obey pam restrictions = Yes
    pam password change = Yes
    panic action = /usr/share/samba/panic-action %d
    passwd chat = *Enter\snew\s*\spassword:* %n\n *Retype\snew\s*\spassword:* %n\n *password\supdated\ssuccessfully* .
    passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
    server role = standalone server
    security = user
    server string = %h server (Samba, Ubuntu)
    syslog = 0
    unix password sync = Yes
    usershare allow guests = Yes


[printers]
    browseable = No
    comment = All Printers
    create mask = 0700
    path = /var/spool/samba
    printable = Yes

[print$]
    comment = Printer Drivers
    path = /var/lib/samba/printers
