Samba Printer question
While running Samba on a linux box on my network I have discovered that when I try to add a printer to a windows host my samba box apears as a print server. This has caused a slow down on the generation of the print server list.
What I would like to do is set up samba so that it does not apear as a print server to windows clients. They should not even see my samba box as an option in the add printer dialog. anyone know what I need to change in my smb.conf file?  |

Just a guess, but try setting the [printers] section in your smb.conf file to browseable = no. It won't appear in the Windows list that way. You'll have to explicity type in the \\computer\printer name in Windows to attach to that printer.
