For clarification, when I say I can't see them I mean using smbclient
all I see is the standard IPC$ shares, no printers. However, in
/var/log/samba/log.smbd :
[2004/05/26 21:31:09, 3] param/loadparm.c:lp_add_printer(2405)
adding printer service BrotherHL1440
which is the printer I have connected. Is this a change or bug in
smbclient perhaps?
Thanks again,
Darren
