Which section must exist in a Samba configuration file to create dynamic shares for printers?

To create dynamic shares for printers in a Samba configuration file, the section that must exist is the one designated for printers, which is typically labeled as [printers]. This section allows Samba to define printer shares dynamically for all printers that are available on the server. It facilitates the automatic creation of printer shares based on the actual printers defined in the CUPS (Common UNIX Printing System) configuration.

By using the [printers] section, you can configure parameters that apply to all printers handled by Samba, enabling features such as print job tracking and access control. This section simplifies the management of multiple printers, ensuring that they can be accessed by remote clients without the need for creating individual entries for each printer.

The other options refer to different purposes. The [print$] section is specifically for defining a location for printer drivers, which supports printing capabilities but does not directly create printer shares. The [printcap] section is related to defining printer capabilities and is often used in conjunction with legacy printing systems but isn't directly applicable in modern Samba configurations. The [printer] option is not a standard section name in Samba configuration; thus, it wouldn't work for defining dynamic shares.
