samba - Jun 2003 - Samba + CUPS = Two printers instead of one?

Samba 2.2.8 + cups-1.1.17. 

    load printers = yes
    show add printer wizard = yes
    printcap name = cups
    printer admin = root
    printing = cups

[print$]
   path = /home/printers
   guest ok = yes
   browseable = yes
   write list = root

[printers]
   comment = All Printers
   printable = yes
   path = /var/spool/samba
   browseable = no
   guest ok = yes
   public = yes
   read only = yes
   writable = no

[2 floor IBM BW]
   comment = IBM Infoprint 1222
   path = /var/spool/lpd/samba/2ndflbw
   printable = yes
   browseable = yes
   writable = no
   public = yes
   printer admin = root


Everything all right added drivers, set default all works like a charm just
it's just that... Why do I have two printers instead of one listed on the
server?

Short answer: because you setup the smb.conf the way you did.

Long answer:

* the "load printers = yes" directive tells Samba to look for
   a printcap file and auto-create and use [printername] sections
   for each printername found in the printcap. These auto-created
   shares are not actually written to disk, but are visible
   in the Network neighbourhood and/or the server's "Printers and
   Faxes" folder. They use settings cloned from the [printers]
   section, (similar to how the [homes] section works...)

* the manually created share [2 floor IBM BW] duplicates your
   other effort. (BTW, don't forget to have the same "printername
   with spaces" {"2 floor IBM BW"} on the UNIX side, and
don't
   forget to escape those spaces, should you want to use that
   printer in UNIX....

Cheers,
Kurt
