Server with Samba: HP TC4100 (Intel PIII/1400, 2GB RAM) SuSE Linux 9.0 machine on net: Intel P4/1600, Windows 2000 SP4 and all last hotfixes After upgrade from 3.0.7 to 3.0.9 my network printers are completly not accessible. I used almost the same smb.conf in several 2.2.x versions, then I have upgraded to 3.0.7 and after some minor changes everything was good. But after upgrade to 3.0.9 file shares are O.K. but I cannot access any print share on my Windows 2000 SP4 machine. I have used RPM's from ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/samba/3.0/i386/9.0/, because of SuSE Linux 9.0 on my server. I also have already tried RPM for SuSE Linux 9.1 (on another machine with 9.1 distribution, which I have for test purposes) - ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/samba/3.0/i386/9.1/ - and I have got the same result - with older 3.0.7 I can see print shares and after upgrade to 3.0.9 I can see only file shares even with default smb.conf . Because I still have not any packages with Samba 3.0.7 for SuSE Linux 9.0 I had to return to 2.2.8a version which is native in SuSE 9.0 distribution. I have no idea about reason for this, if it is mistake of compiling in SuSE or bug in Samba 3.0.9 but I would like to use Samba3 with print shares. (Sorry for my czenglish ...)

I'm pretty sure this is a duplicate of bug 2091 which has been fixed for the upcoming 3.0.10pre1 release. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 2091 ***
