samba - Nov 2005 - samba3 print server : ghost printer problem

Hello,
I configure my PDc as print server.
With cups, I configure 3 printers (names : print1 print2 and prinnt3). 
After that I saw the error in the last printer's name. So I delete 
prinnt3 and create print3).

But if I connect to my print server (using Windows), I have 4 printers : 
print1 -3 and prinnt3

I restart cups and reload smb daemon several times but the ghost is 
still there.

I have the prob for 2 days now so I supposed that it's not a network 
neighborhood prob anymore ?

In the directory /var/lib/samba/printing _OR_ /var/cache/samba/printing 
(depending on your Linux flavor) delete the file prinnt3.tdb, then restart 
smbd.

Also, make sure that there is no entry in smb.conf for this printer.

You don't say what version of Samba this is?
