My version of samba - samba-3.0.10
configured with -
./configure  --build=i486-pc-linux-gnu --prefix=/usr --libexecdir=/usr/lib/samba --sysconfdir=/etc \
--localstatedir=/var --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --includedir=/usr/include \
--datadir=/usr/share  --enable-cups --with-smbmount --with-pam --with-configdir=/etc/samba \
--with-privatedir=/etc/samba/private --with-lockdir=/var/lock --with-piddir=/var/lock \
--with-swatdir=/usr/share/samba/swat --with-logfilebase=/var/log --with-libdir=/usr/lib/samba

does not keep the installed drivers past a reboot

every time the machine reboots I have to reinstall the printer drivers.

I would like to know why and how to fix this aside from reinstalling them each time.

(
  I now use the attached scripts
  The adobe -* files are kept in /etc/samba/drivers.configs
  The rest are kept in /etc/samba
  The drivers are kept in /etc/samba/drivers.cache
)
