tdbtool cannot open it neither:
"Could not open /tmp/ntprinters.tdb: Input/output error"

As the server seems to work well with the corrupt tdb, would "net rpc 
printer MIGRATE" be a solution for saving the tdb-files contents to 
another samba server? (Or does the migration feature copy the 
ntprinters.tdb as is? I doubt it...)
Thanks for your support.
