I did a refresh on client and restart services on Samba server quite
a few times, because I did not wish to look like an ass, and only after
downgrading to Samba 3.0.0-2, was I able to get the "Printers and Faxes"
Folder, so I am not sure what else might have caused this problem.
Anyway, it seems to be working fine at the moment. Thanks.
