[sllug-members]: Samba printer setup wierdness

[Shaun Kruger]

I've been setting up samba printers again and I'm wondering if anyone
has had the same problem I'm having.

I define my printers in CUPS.  I create one printer called HPLaser1200
and one class called HousePrinters (the class was just to see how easy
it was).

I got the printers to show up on
\\nomad\<cups printername> and
\\nomad\Printers and Faxes\<cups printername>

The wierd thing is that when I go into printers and faxes and use the
windows printer facilities to upload a driver to the server and assign
that driver to the printer it renames the printer to \\nomad\Printers
and faxes\<Printer driver name> [(Copy number)]

Now, this isn't impossible to undo.  All I have to do is select and
rename.  It's just that it's kind of a pain to have to fix it every
time I assign a driver to a printer.

Does anyone know how to keep it from happening?  A few google searches
havn't produced much...

Shaun
