samba - Sep 2017 - Is [print$] still avaiable in samba V4.6.7?

Hi,

   I haven't see any stuff with [print$] section from `man smb.conf` of 
samba v4.6.7, is this section still available for drivers 
auto-installation

   for windows ?

   I know  it is usable from some out-of-date tutorial of old samba. But I 
don't figure out How-TO in the latest one.


   Thanks,

-hongquan

Base on what I am trying to, the answer is yes. I use windows printer 
server to verify. the driver-share folder is print$.

You can find latest documentation in our Wiki:
https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/User_Documentation

The following two docs describe how to set up a print server:
* Setting up Samba as a Print Server
* Setting up Automatic Printer Driver Downloads for Windows Clients

If you tell me what the many missing details are, I will enhance our
docs accordingly.

I recently verified the doc using Samba 4.7. From my point of view, both
docs are up-to-date and work with all supported Samba versions.
