[SAMBA] loading printers

[Matt Lung]

You can restart it anytime you want.  But that still doesn't mean 
someone won't be in the middle of saving something while your bringing 
samba down and back up.  see what i'm saying?  Have you ever tried to 
save something after you stopped samba and were already connected with a 
file open?  Doesn't work too good.  So no you don't have to wait for 
everyone to be off of the network, but if you don't want people calling 
you that were trying to save or something like that then I wouldn't just 
do it in the middle of the day on a HIGH traffic server.  Thats all I 
was trying to say.
