22.04, Samba and browseable printers

[strungoutfan78]

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:

[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

[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’:

browsable = yes
guest ok = yes

and just a reminder, After editing smb.conf, restart Samba:

sudo systemctl restart smbd.service nmbd.service

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.
