<para>When printing from Windows NT (or later),
|
|
each printer in <filename>smb.conf</filename> has two
|
|
associated names which can be used by the client. The first
|
|
is the sharename (or shortname) defined in smb.conf. This
|
|
is the only printername available for use by Windows 9x clients.
|
|
The second name associated with a printer can be seen when
|
|
browsing to the "Printers" (or "Printers and Faxes") folder
|
|
on the Samba server. This is referred to simply as the printername
|
|
(not to be confused with the <parameter>printer name</parameter> option).
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>When assigning a new driver to a printer on a remote
|
|
Windows compatible print server such as Samba, the Windows client
|
|
will rename the printer to match the driver name just uploaded.
|
|
This can result in confusion for users when multiple
|
|
printers are bound to the same driver. To prevent Samba from
|
|
allowing the printer's printername to differ from the sharename
|
|
defined in smb.conf, set <parameter>force printername = yes</parameter>.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Be aware that enabling this parameter may affect migrating
|
|
printers from a Windows server to Samba since Windows has no way to
|
|
force the sharename and printername to match.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>It is recommended that this parameter's value not be changed
|
|
once the printer is in use by clients as this could cause a user
|
|
not be able to delete printer connections from their local Printers
|
|
folder.</para>
