Put all the common printer settings in [Global}
remove the [Printers] section
create a section for each printer with the
printer-specific settings included.
e.g.
[HP4Plus]
comment = HP4Plus by Graphics PC
path = /var/spool/samba/hp4plus
writeable = no
printable = yes
printer name = hp4plus
use client driver = yes
[HP570]
comment = OfficeJet 570 by HP450C Plotter
path = /var/spool/samba/hp570
writeable = no
printable = yes
printer name = hp570
use client driver = no
