I wish to echo the problem with the Samba Print Server not showing up in the Win2000 Add Printer Wizard server list. Is there a solution to the problem?

Probably relevant conf sections at bottom. Minor one first: In the Add Printer Wizard (the place most users look first), the Samba print server is not listed. Manually typing the \\server\printer works fine, but this is "difficult" for users adding printers on the fly. Adding the printer from \\server\printers works fine too, but again, this is a complication too far for the average user. Is there a resolution for this? Major(ish) one: Adding a printer to Windows 9x results in the error "printername.PPD not found on \\server\print$\WIN40\0\printername.PPD"; forcing it to browse to the print$ share and appropriate sub-directories shows the correct file (even down to case!) but results in the same failure. The files preceding it in the load process add fine (Adobe stuff). Everything works ok on NT (4 onwards). Any thoughts?
