Other printing options enable you to redefine the location of basic printing commands
(lpq, lprm, and so on) and printing files (such as the name of the printcap file).
Browse Options
A browse list is a list of computers that are available on the network to SMB services. Clients use
this list to find computers that are on their own LAN and also computers in their workgroups that
may be on other reachable networks.
In Samba, browsing is configured by options described later in this section and implemented by
the nmbd daemon. If you are using Samba for a workgroup within a single LAN, you probably
don??™t need to concern yourself with the browsing options. However, if you are using Samba to provide
services across several physical subnetworks, you might want to consider configuring Samba
as a domain master browser. Here are some points to think about:
 Samba can be configured as a master browser, which allows it to gather lists of computers
from local browse masters to form a wide-area server list. (Browse masters keep track of
available shared directories and printers on the network of Samba systems and broadcast
information about those resources as necessary.)
Assigning Guest Accounts
Samba always assigns the permissions level of a valid user on the Linux system to clients who use the
server.
