[Samba] Differenet behavior when using dns name and netbios name
Hello, Here is something I have just noticed and was wondering if anyone else has noticed this. When I address the samba server with its primary dns name, there are no problems with observing and changing the settings of the printers. When I address the samba server using the netbios name (different than the dns hostname though it is a cname for this machine), I cannot see any of the printer drivers that I have installed when I go to the Printers folder and right click, properties on any of the printers. They have all of the right settings but I can't see what the printer driver is set to. Thanks in advance. Marc
