Hi, Not sure really what you mean about the first point, where should I put that in, but smbclient -L server shows the printer, it's shown on /etc/printcap and if I set windows to print to \\192.168.1.2\<printer name> I get a test page fine. Not sure if this last one bypasses Samba.
What I can't do is get the printer to show up when you browse for it. I think the problem is with Samba as testparm doesn't seem to reflect some of the changes I make.
