Hi John

The printer share name was the same as the printer name= "POS80" which was also what the name was stated as in SambaPOS. However I changed the share name to something new i.e. WIN90PT

I then installed the printer driver on the client terminal and in Printer Properties - Ports - Add Port - Local Port = \\SERVERNAME\PRINTERSHARENAME

And now is all working fine. Thanks John

Useful source for printer sharing which was also very helpful:
