I've been trying to set up CUPS as a printer backend for Samba. The printer is named "kmfs3830n-1-7.apf" in our internal DNS. CUPS knows it as kmfs3830n-1-7. When I try printing to it in Samba, I get errors like this:

[2004/07/01 09:31:51, 0] smbd/service.c:make_connection(857)
  pinky (192.168.2.101) couldn't find service kmfs3830n-1-7

Pinky is a Mac OS X 10.3 workstation.

If I change the name of the printer in CUPS to "Programming", everything works fine.

Is the issue here that "-" is an invalid character for printer names, is kmfs3830n-1-7 just too long, or have I perhaps missed the plot entirely?

Thanks
Alex
