could you please at least inform the end user that the share printer option is

Samba is linked to the CUPS library and so asks the CUPS daemon directly
via IPP which printers are there. So changing ownerships/permissions of
CUPS' config files will not make Samba sharing the same printers as
CUPS. Samba would need to be modified to ask CUPS for its ACLs (as
configured in cupsd

configured to share printers to Windows boxes. This is probably the case
on the machine o
Can Windows machines not listen for CUPS browsing packets?
The problem with adding text as you suggest is that CUPS supports

check your Samba configuration.
Tim, what about adding some text to the dialog that the check boxes
