Didn't seem to make a difference

smb.conf

[printers]
  comment = All Printers
  browseable = no
  available = yes
  path = /var/spool/samba
  printable = yes
  guest ok = yes
  read only = yes
  create mask = 0700

# Windows clients look for this share name as a source of downloadable
# printer drivers
[print$]
  comment = Printer Drivers
  path = /var/lib/samba/printers
  browseable = no
  available = yes
  read only = yes
  guest ok = yes
# Uncomment to allow remote administration of Windows print drivers.

testparm

[printers]
       comment = All Printers
       path = /var/spool/samba
       create mask = 0700

I found these two posts:

http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/kubuntu-xerus.html

https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1614355

I don't know if their useful. The first mentions a bug with Kubuntu 16.04 and Samba. The second is related in that it mentions a "Missing Windows Printer via Samba. Following the subbestion in the second pasting I checked to make sure the packages

libsmbclient
smbclient
python-smbc

were installed. The first was, the second two weren't. So I installed them. The only difference it made is now in "Settings>System Settings>add Printer" theres is a new choice "Windows printer via samba" clicking on it brings up a box with 3 boxes which are labeled, "Browse" (which is grayed out) "username" and "password".

I don't know that this changes much since I assume the browse option is grayed out because

testparm

still shows browse=no

Since the solution here seems to be somewhat not obvious is there another forum I should post it on?
