Autofs auto.smb attempts to mount printer drivers


In the Debian Autofs package the auto.smb script contains the following line:

/Disk/ { if (first) { print opts; first=0 }; print " \\\n\t /" $2, "://" key "/" $2 }

SAMBA for some reason lists printer drivers as 'Disk' shares:

IPC|IPC$|Remote IPC
Disk|print$|Printer Drivers
Disk|C|
Printer|HPLJ4L|HP LaserJet 4L

This produces error messages when a mount is attempted for

//machinename/print

which doesn't exist:

automount[17409]: mount(generic): calling mount -t cifs -s -o rw,credentials=/etc/auto.cifs.DELL3000
//DELL3000/print /smb/DELL3000/print
Jun 16 19:32:50 EMACH433 automount[17409]: >> retrying with upper case share name
Jun 16 19:32:50 EMACH433 automount[17409]: >> mount error 6 = No such device or address

Any way to either modify the awk program in auto.smb to exclude the 'print$' service or modify the smbclient
options to list hard drives only?

Fixed by inserting a couple of 'if' statements to weed out the 'printer driver' shares reported by Win9x (PRINTER$) and WinXP (print$):

BEGIN { ORS=""; first=1 }
/Disk/ { if (first) { print opts; first=0 }; if ($2 != "PRINTER$") { if ($2 != "print$") print " \\\n\t /" $2, "://" key "/" $2 } }
END { if (!first) print "\n"; else exit 1 }
