comment = Printer Driver Download Area
path = /var/lib/samba/printers
browseable = yes
public = yes
write list = root @users
chown root.root /var/lib/samba/printers; chmod 777 /var/lib/samba/printers

different computer), should be able to download them so installing a printer
is a double click away.
