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?
