<reference> does not take text content. You can look for
referenceType in
http://geronimo.apache.org/schemas-1.0/geronimo-config-1.0.xsd
Basically, referenceType extends patternType which holds a
gbean-nameGroup, which can be either a <gbean-name> (which holds a
full GBean name) or a bunch of separate elements.
If the referenced GBean is in the same plan, as it is in your example,
you can take the separate elements approach and all you probably need
is the name (the rest should default correctly). So:
<reference name="Aprinter"><name>gb1</name></reference>
<reference name="Bprinter"><name>gb2</name></reference>
