samba - Dec 2003 - Add printer wizard... No server listed...

We have a Samba 3.01 pre3 server that acts as a print server among other 
things.  When our users go to the add printer wizard in Windows, it 
doesn't show our samba server!  The only way to add a printer is by 
manually entering the path.  That's really inconvenient if you don't 
know the path.  :)  Is there some way we can resolve this?
Thanks,

Read about the "browseable"-parameter.

As in

> comment = Printer
> path = /var/spool/samba_my_printer    
> browseable = yes
> printable = yes       
> writeable = no

I think this is what you are seeing

It's in the queue to be fixed.  But probably not for 3.0.1
