Re: Samba no printers available

In my smb.conf I have:

[global]

  load printers = yes
   printing = cups
   printcap name = cups

Share Definition
[printers]
   comment = All Printers
   browseable = yes
   path = /var/spool/samba
   printable = yes
   guest ok = yes
   read only = yes
   create mask = 0700

[print$]
   comment = Printer Drivers
   path = /var/lib/samba/printers
   browseable = yes
   read only = yes
   guest ok = no

But testparm tells me:

# Global parameters
[global]
    dns proxy = No
    interfaces = 192.x.x.x/24
    max log size = 50
    printcap name = cups
    server role = standalone server
    server string = Samba Server
    workgroup = MYGROUP
    idmap config * : backend = tdb

[printers]
    browseable = No
    comment = All Printers
    create mask = 0700
    guest ok = Yes
    path = /var/spool/samba
    printable = Yes

[print$]
    comment = Printer Drivers
    path = /var/lib/samba/printers

[homes]
    browseable = No
    comment = Home Directories
    read only = No
