# PRINTERS section (optional but useful)

# This section work in conjunction with the printcap file and allows

# to configure a large number of printer shares without having to add

# separate detailed sections for each of them. The printer names and

# optional aliases are listed in the printcap file and the config parms

# are defined here. Special printers can still be defined explicitly.

# Directive “load printers” makes all entries available for browsing.

# Directive “auto services” allows a more selective browse offering.
