SAMBA : How to delete printer ICON

I want to delete printer icon which is showing (on Windows explorer) after login to SAMBA server computer .

It means how could I configure "/etc/samba/smb.conf" without printer and not showing printer icon from windows computer.

use of icons is utterly unrelated to samba... that's just what windows wants to do. If you mean you don't want to share a printer, just remove any [printer] sections from smb.conf

I have removed it, but it was still showing printer icon when i login to samba server computer and open it from windows explorer.
I want to share only one folder , not other folder and home folder , printer, ...

I have attached part of config of printer of "smb.conf"

Code:

#   printcap name = /etc/printcap
   load printers = no

.....

#[printers]
#   comment = All Printers
#   path = /var/spool/samba
#   browseable = no
#   guest ok = no
#   writable = no
#   printable = yes

Also i have tryed to remove "load printers" line. it was same.
