Samba: Nameless printer in Net Hood

["Tony Crawford" <tc@crawfords.de>]

Hi Gang!

I'm stumped. Samba 2.0.8 on Debian 2.2 (kernel 2.2.17) shows an 
extra printer in the Network Neighborhood on the Windows 
clients, with an non-printing character as the name, which shows 
up as a single little rectangle character in Windows. I suspect 
it's a tab, because opening it in Windows gets me the prompt to 
install a printer driver for '\\RUTABAGA\	'.

I've searched /etc/printcap and /etc/samba/smb.conf (see below) 
for where this comes from ... Oh yeah, and this printer entry 
also appears in Swat with an asterisk, which allegedly means it 
is defined in printcap and so can't be deleted in Swat. I've 
tried cutting all blank lines out of printcap, to no avail. 

Spooler is LPRng 3.6.12, in case that makes any difference. Both 
of the real printers--one local, one remote--work fine via 
Samba.

Any clues? Any links to *searchable* Samba mailing list 
archives?
