Automatic shared printers

When the VisionFS server starts, it scans the UNIX server for printers and updates the server's profile with information about each printer.

NOTE: This means if you add a UNIX printer, you'll need to restart the VisionFS server for VisionFS to include the information in the server's profile.

In Windows, when you list the shares on a VisionFS server, you see a shared printer for each UNIX printer (if automatic shared printers are enabled, which they are by default). The share names are the same as the UNIX printer names.

The VisionFS server uses the settings from the master shared printer for automatic shared printers; however, you can override settings for individual shared printers, if you want.

As automatic shared printers are just ``clones'' of the master shared printer, the Profile Editor doesn't show them.
