Hi Johan, I had the same proble where I could not see any share. I solved it by putting the following under [print$] browseable = yes I dont know if this is the only way. If there is any other alternative, please let anybody know.

Hi Fabian,
Yes - here is (excerpt from) my setup.
You also need to set permissions on shares so printer admins can write
driver files and everybody can print. I think you need arcitecture foldres
under print$ (W32X86 etc) and set SePrintOperatorPrivilege for users to set
up printers.
I got it all working OK (samba 3.5.6), but I do still have troubles with
printer properties in some drivers. I suspect it might work better in
samba3.3 and older but have not got as far as testing this.
Jim

Hi, is this a bug in Samba 4?
