currently support WINS replication.
In a mixed NT/2000/2003 server and Samba environment, it is recommended that you use the

[global]
wins support = Yes

All servers (including Samba) should connect to a WINS server to resolve
NetBIOS names. Without WINS, browsing only occurs on the local subnet.
Furthermore, even if a domain-wide list is somehow obtained, hosts are not
resolvable for the client without WINS.

recommended printing system due to its close integration with Samba.
