I had my samba printer shares working after many hours of struggling
with the samba.conf file. I was happy.
Now the printer shares have quit working. I checked the yum log to see
if anything had been changed. Nothing applicable seems to have been
changed.
I've been surfing the net for the last couple of days trying to find a
solution to the problem but I find many outdated and conflicting
articles which only contribute to my confusion.

What's with the samba4 directory? It looks like I have samba 3.5.10 on
my system.
Here are the applicable stanzas of my samba.conf file
[global]
workgroup = MYGROUP
server string = Samba Server Version %v
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
max log size = 50
security = user
passdb backend = tdbsam
load printers = yes
cups options = raw
printcap name = /etc/printcap
printing = cups
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/samba
browseable = no
guest ok = yes
writable = no
printable = yes
[WorkForce-1100]
comment = EPSON WorkForce 1100
path = /var/spool/samba
read only = No
guest ok = Yes
printable = Yes
printer name = WorkForce-1100
oplocks = No
share modes = No
[Samsung-ML-1740]
comment = Samsung ML-1740
path = /var/spool/samba
read only = No
guest ok = Yes
printable = Yes
printer name = Samsung-ML-1740
oplocks = No
share modes = No
When I try to mount a printer from the Win XP machine no print shares
are visible.
Any samba experts see anything wrong with my samba.conf file? Do I need
to provide more information?
