Since version 3.0.6 the win2k client (no other client tested) get as servername by every printer only the ip-address. You can check it with rpcclient ... "enumprinters" until version 3.0.5 you get the servername (netbios-name) but since 3.0.6 you only get an IP Example: 3.0.5 flags:[0x800000] name:[\\printserv1\bw-b35a3] description:[\\printserv1\bw-b35a3,bw-b35a3,HP LaserJet 8150 PS [A3] (Room: B355)] comment:[HP LaserJet 8150 PS [A3] (Room: B355)] 3.0.7flags:[0x800000] name:[\\164.48.136.2\bw-b35a3] description:[\\164.48.136.2\bw-b35a3,bw-b35a3,HP LaserJet 8150 PS [A3] (Room: B355)] comment:[HP LaserJet 8150 PS [A3] (Room: B355)] The affect is that for the client after upgrading the samba-version they are confused and think that ar new printer. You canot delete the old-printers only with regedit. Is this volitional?
