Ok, did this:
# diff srv_spoolss.c srv_spoolss.c.orig
1415,1416c1415,1416
< /* {"SPOOLSS_RFFPCNEX", SPOOLSS_RFFPCNEX,
api_spoolss_rffpcnex }, */
< /* {"SPOOLSS_RFNPCNEX", SPOOLSS_RFNPCNEX,
api_spoolss_rfnpcnex }, */

Running this since yesterday now. All printing functionality that worked
before still seems to work. Might even have speeded up connecting to
printers; it seems to me anyway, but that might be purely psychological ;-)
Anyway, an smb.conf option for this would be nice. I guess a lot of
people have been wondering how to disable this annoying behavior ;-)
Still, it must be frustrating to have implemented this, so samba mimicks
M$ behavior as much as possible and then people start asking to turn
it off... I do appreciate the work, I just don't like the functionality.
At least with Samba I have the choice to rip it out <G>
Thx,
Tom.
