    Unhappy 22.04, Samba and browseable printers

    I'm currently trying to build a cups server at work and for some reason the printers share is not browsable, despite my samba config:

    Samba config:
    Code:
    [printers]
       comment = All Printers
       browseable = yes
       path = /var/spool/samba
       printable = yes
       guest ok = no
       read only = no
       create mask = 0700
       write list = root @adm @wheel cups_user
    testparm
    Code:
    [printers]
            browseable = No
            comment = All Printers
            create mask = 0700
            path = /var/spool/samba
            printable = Yes
            read only = No
            write list = root @adm @wheel cups_user
    Does anyone know what gives with this? Is it a bug in the current version? My Google-fu is failing me on this one. Thanks!

    In the [printers] section, change the guest ok option to ‘yes’:
    Code:
    browsable = yes
    guest ok = yes
    and just a reminder, After editing smb.conf, restart Samba:
    Code:
    sudo systemctl restart smbd.service nmbd.service

    Re: 22.04, Samba and browseable printers

    Appreciate the answer. Doesn't seem to work though. NO matter what, browseable is always set to "No" in testparm results. Plus my organization's policies prevent guest accounts.
    Really, I'm not out to destroy Microsoft. That will just be a completely unintentional side effect.
