We have enough regular printer queues that we ran into trouble presenting a list of shares to the user. (the problem might have only been under win95). Due to that, our users always connect directly to a printer share, they do not browse for it. They have to define a printer as \\sambasrv\unixptr Many of our users are laptop users, so they only add the printers they personally care about. The unix side needs to know all the printer names, but any given laptop (or even any of the PC's in our public labs) only have about 10 printers defined. I had not thought about browsing for printer shares. I'll try to keep that in mind too. --- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@eclipse.acs.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or drosih@rpi.edu Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
