Printing Support in Samba 2.2.x

[Ing. Vladislav Krahulec]

I am able to upload printer drivers for using them in Windows NT 4.0
Workstation. It works very good but until restart linux with Samba 2.2.x (I
have tried 2.2.0, 2.2.0a, 2.2.1 and today also 2.2.2):

- I set the printer driver according to item 6.2.2 in "Samba Project
documentation"
- it works, users can download printer driver with only user privilegs and
use them
- I can restart smbd and nmbd and downloading of printer drivers still works
- But when I restart whole server, information about printer driver in
properties of print share is lost (I can fill up parameter PRINTER DRIVER,
but information about printer driver files are lost also).

Maybe there is some other necessary daemon, which is needed for saving
informations about printer driver and its files (or some special parameter
setting)

Thank you
