[Samba] losing print driver associations on reboot

Check your Makefile for proper dir's-I had to
edit it to fix the sysconfdir= entry. For
some reason it ignored it in my input file...
You may have some hosed defaults in it, which
would lead to odd behavior. I had to change my
samba spool dir's when I went from Mandrake to
OpenBSD, as OBSD flushed /tmp on restarts. All
of my spool dir's would go away on restarts. Now
my print spool dirs are set to:
lprng=/var/spool/lpd (in /etc/printcap)
samba=/var/spool/samba (in /etc/samba/smb.conf)
