Stephane, killall -HUP smbd Your printers should then show up immediately.

Hello, Please make sure, you have printing = cups printcap name = cups also in your smb.conf. When you have added a printer with cups, you could either restart your samba processes (/etc/init.d/samba restart - or something like that) or send them a signal to re-read the configuration. killall -1 smbd should do that.
