Samba printer shares list



Hi group,

Since upgrading samba from woody to sarge (2.2 -> 3.0), I have the
following problem: I can still use my printer shared via cups, but it
doesn't show up in the browse list. This is my smb.conf:

# Samba config file created using SWAT
# from 192.168.20.20 (192.168.20.20)
# Date: 2005/05/23 21:29:48

# Global parameters
[global]
	workgroup = ILEOS
	printcap name = cups
	ldap ssl = no
	printing = cups
	print command = 
	lpq command = %p
	lprm command = 

[printers]
	comment = All Printers
	path = /tmp
	printable = Yes

[homes]
	comment = Home Directories
	valid users = %S
	browseable = No


And this is the output from smbclient -L:


dfokkema@betelgeuse:~$ smbclient -L nebula
Password:
Domain=[NEBULA] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.14a-Debian]

        Sharename       Type      Comment

        ADMIN$          IPC       IPC Service (Samba 3.0.14a-Debian)
        dfokkema        Disk      Home Directories

        Server               Comment
        ---------            -------

        Workgroup            Master
        ---------            -------
        ILEOS

This is a bit frustrating as it is now difficult to select a printer on
new clients. Of course, systems which already know about my printers can
still connect. If I downgrade samba to 2.2.5-2 everything works fine and
I have

dfokkema@betelgeuse:~$ smbclient -L nebula -U dfokkema

(You can see the hpdeskjet3845 listed). Can someone help me with this?

Thanks!
