The <literal>printers</literal> meta-service will cause every printer that is either specified in a
<literal>printcap</literal> file, via the <command>lpstat</command>, or via the CUPS API, to be
published as a shared print queue. The <literal>printers</literal> stanza in the &smb.conf; file can
be set as not browseable. If it is set to be browseable, then it will be visible as if it is a share.
That makes no sense given that this meta-service is responsible only for making UNIX system printers
available as Windows print queues. If a <literal>comment</literal> parameter is specified, the value
of it will be displayed as part of the printer name in Windows Explorer browse lists.

Each section of the &smb.conf; file that specifies a share, or a meta-service, is called a stanza.
