+1) edit the [global] section of smb.conf and make sure it has these
+ lines:
+
+[global]

+

+ browseable = yes

+
+If only a subset of your printers will be installed as exportable to

+
+To export all printers to MS Windows NT/XP/2000/2003 clients:

+#cupsaddsmb -U root -a
+
+In either case, you will be prompted for the root password.

+will be automagically installed.
+
