samba - Oct 2004 - [print$] and printer names

Hi all,

I've noticed that since I started storing drivers in [print$] the printer
name
(as visible to Windows) changes to the driver name.  I really want to 
suppress this behavior as I named the printers for clarity about where/what 
they are.  Is there any way to suppress it?  Using CUPS to share out the 
printers.

Thanks,
Misty

I added a new service parameter last week (force printername)
for people that don't want the printername to be different
from the sharename.  ('cause I'm really tired of answering
this question).

The new param will be available starting with Samba 3.0.8pre2
