Everything all right added drivers, set default all works like a charm just
it's just that... Why do I have two printers instead of one listed on the
server?
Short answer: because you setup the smb.conf the way you did.
Long answer:
* the load printers = yes directive tells Samba to look for
a printcap file and auto-create and use [printername] sections
for each printername found in the printcap. These auto-created
shares are not actually written to disk, but are visible
in the Network neighbourhood and/or the server's Printers and
Faxes folder. They use settings cloned from the [printers]
section, (similar to how the [homes] section works...)
* the manually created share [2 floor IBM BW] duplicates your
other effort. (BTW, don't forget to have the same printername
with spaces {2 floor IBM BW} on the UNIX side, and don't
forget to escape those spaces, should you want to use that
printer in UNIX
Cheers,
Kurt
