A user who upgraded to OS X Lion could no longer add the Samba hosted printers to his system. In this account the user logon rights are limited by workstation. Checking the Samba logs showed that OS X Lion was sending "workstation" as the NetBIOS name instead of the configured NetBIOS name (same as hostname). The configured hostname is clearly sent to the DHCP server. Once I allowed that user rights from workstation "workstation" the printers worked just fine.
I am a bit concerned if the other Mac users (fortunately not too many - never thought I would say that) upgrade - multiple systems sending the same NetBIOS name of "workstation" (assuming they will all break in the same way) may be problematic. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
