I have installed Samba2.2.7a on an Ultra5 Solaris 8 Operating System. The smb.conf file has been configured and all appears to work fine. However, along with my shared resource, I am seeing the Printers icon. I only want to use Samba to share resources, and not for printing. Is there a way to make the Printers Icon invisible? I already tried the hide files, and veto files parameters in the smb.conf file, but that did not appear to work. Any suggestions???? Pamela M. Wade IT Systems Engineering
Actually when accessing the resource from Windows2000, I am seeing the
Printers icon, but on Windows98, I am only seeing the shared resource. I
don't want the Printers Icon to be viewable at all, regardless of the
Windows OS type.

Thanks for the information. I added that parameter in the conf file under
the global section, but for some reason, I am still seeing the Printers
Icon on Windows2000....

Hi,
Yes, I didn't like this icon either. Do this on the
conf file;
disable spoolss = yes

Thanks again. I added the additional entries, and it is now working.
Samba is starting from inetd, so there is no stop/start scripts involved.
