Here's what I've got in my samba.conf file now:
[global]
workgroup = MYGROUP
server string = Samba Server Version %v
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
max log size = 50
printcap name = /etc/printcap
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/samba
read only = No
guest ok = Yes
printable = Yes
cups options = raw
use client driver = Yes
browseable = No
The printers do not appear in the printer list on the Win XP machine but
if I specify the path to the printer \\192.168.15.2\Samsung-ML-1740 XP
mounts it up and prints to it. As usual, I don't know why it didn't
work before, and I don't know why it works now.
