samba - Sep 2004 - Printers Showing up on Alternate Server Names

Hi all,
 
I am running samba 3.0.6.  I am having an issue on my print server
regarding how the printer ends up registering itself on the Windows
clients.  We have a machine named "bob", "bob" has an alias
both in DNS
and in the netbios name in Samba of "printserver", "bob" has
an IP
address of 192.168.1.1.  In a seemingly random fashion sometimes when I
add a printer on a new client machine by specifying the printer with
\\printserver\Reception to specify the "Reception" printer, it shows
up
as "Reception on herm" or "Reception on 192.168.1.1" or
"Reception on
printserver" (this would be the desired result, which does sometimes
occur).  Does anyone have an idea why this might be occurring?  Is it a
common problem with Samba or do we have something setup wrong somewhere?
 
Thanks,
 
Chris

I am having the same problem using Samba 3.0.7 w/ FC2.
This only started happening recently, and is happening on 3 servers. I
hadn't seen it happen on 3.0.4. Nothing else has changed.

Thanks,
