samba - Sep 2004 - CUPS integration does not work properly when not linked

I have a Samba 3.0.6 server and a CUPS 1.2.0 server running on my machine.
They have been compiled with:

Samba:
./configure --with-pam --with-pam_smbpass --with-quotas --with-sys-quotas

CUPS:
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/cups --with-cups-user=cups --with-cups-
group=cups --with-docdir=/usr/local/cups/docdir --with-
logdir=/usr/local/cups/logdir --with-rcdir=/usr/local/cups/rcdir 
--enable-ssl

As you can see, CUPS lies in an unusual path, so Samba did NOT see the cups-
config file and was NOT linked to CUPS. Your documentation states that even
without linking it should work fine, however, it doesn't.

/etc/printcap contains:
==# This file was automatically generated by cupsd(8) from the
# /usr/local/cups/etc/cups/printers.conf file.  All changes to this file
# will be lost.
Kyocera_FS-3750|Kyocera_FS-3750:rm=flux:rp=Kyocera_FS-3750:
==
This is the printer I set up via CUPS. I can print to it using the CUPS web
interface (print test page).

My /usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf looks like:

==# Samba config file created using SWAT
# from 192.168.10.105 (192.168.10.105)
# Date: 2004/09/08 17:58:00

# Global parameters
[global]
         workgroup = MYGROUP
         netbios aliases = FILESERVER
         server string = Dateiserver
         security = SHARE
         passdb backend = tdbsam
         passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
         passwd chat = *new*password* %n\n *new*password* %n\n *updated*
         unix password sync = Yes
         time server = Yes
         deadtime = 15
         printcap name = cups
         os level = 65535
         preferred master = Yes
         domain master = Yes
         ldap ssl = no
         invalid users = root
         admin users = flux
         write list = flux
         printer admin = flux
         create mask = 0700
         directory mask = 0700
         printing = cups
         print command = /usr/local/cups/bin/lp -c -d%p %s; rm %s
         lpq command = /usr/local/cups/bin/lpstat -o%p
         lprm command = /usr/local/cups/bin/cancel %p-%j
         lppause command = /usr/local/cups/bin/lp -i %p-%j -H hold
         lpresume command = /usr/local/cups/bin/lp -i %p-%j -H resume
         queuepause command = /usr/local/cups/bin/disable %p
         queueresume command = /usr/local/cups/bin/enable %p

(and then some file shares follow)
==
I cannot see the CUPS printers in my list (using Windows and smbclient). 
There
is no chance to print with my Windows clients.

	Maybe I'm missing something here, but you won't see your printer
in the browse lists unless you create a share for that printer.  You can
either create a specific printer stanza for Kyocera_FS-3750, or create a
[printers] stanza to export all printers listed in printcap.
