Hi,

I recently upgraded from 3.0.24 to 3.0.28 on my Slackware 11.0 PDC. I have just noticed several printers have disappeared (they still exist and work in cups but they do not show up in the share listing on the server and users who have them set up cannot print).

Most of the printers are still present, the ones the disappeared have names that are 17 or more characters, the remaining printers all have names of 15 characters or less. All of the clients are XP Pro SP2.

I found an old mailing list message (2003) mentioning a 13 character limit when listing shares, however I don't believe this is the cause as some of the remaining printers have names > 13 characters.

The name length is the only obvious thing that the missing printers have in common. Is there a known difference between .24 and .28 share name/printer name handling? and if so is there a simple way to change it back?
