You have a default printing section, which uses lprng-style printers
(defined under global)
but the share islaser is a cups-style. I've never seen printers shared
explicitly in smb.conf, rather they're defined in printcap.
While it can print, I don't use this server for printing at all. Here
are some selected lines from my config...
[global]
printing = bsd
printcap name = /etc/printcap
load printers = yes
guest account = nobody
invalid users = root
security = domain
workgroup = AGHS
password server = avonside
netbios name = suspenders
guest account = nobody
guest ok = yes
public = yes
writeable = yes
browseable = yes
wide links = yes
log level = 0
getwd cache = yes
max xmit = 65535
bind interfaces only = yes
interfaces = 192.168.1.12 127.0.0.1
[printers]
comment = All Printers
browseable = no
path = /tmp
printable = yes
public = no
writable = no
create mode = 0700
/etc/printcap is lprng bog-standard defaults...
